Mayor Kip Holden says he plans to fill a vacant position in his administration with someone whose sole job will be implementation of FuturEBR, the parish’s new comprehensive plan for land use and development. The search will begin immediately, and Holden expects to hire someone before the end of the year. Holden hopes to find someone with at least 10 years’ experience in economic development, land use, transportation planning and related issues. That person will serve as a direct connection to the mayor’s office for the plan’s implementation team, including city-parish Planning Director Troy Bunch, Urban Development Director Chip Boyles, East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority CEO Walter Monsour, Mid City Redevelopment Alliance Director Sam Sanders, Center for Planning Excellence CEO Elizabeth “Boo” Thomas, and Downtown Development District Director Davis Rhorer. Holden announced the implementation team and strategy at a press conference this morning. Read the full story here. —David Jacobs
