The seller is listed as Linco Management LLC, according to documents filed with the East Baton Rouge Clerk of Court. The land contains older houses that will be razed to improve the aesthetics of the hospital’s entrance, says Stan Shelton, the foundation’s vice president of planning, development, and construction.
