The ARC Baton Rouge bought a 12,000-square-foot building on Jefferson Highway, near Tramonte’s Meat & Seafood Market, for a new south Baton Rouge office.
Work started last week on roughly $260,000-worth of renovations on the building that The ARC purchased for $918,000 from Praise Family Church. The property is listed online for $999,000.
Executive Director Susanne Romig says The ARC was interested in the Jefferson Highway property because of its proximity to Airline Highway and interstates 10 and 12.
“We’re targeting new clients with special needs as far south as Gonzales and as far east as Livingston Parish,” Romig says. “There’s a large area there where there’s no services.”
The ARC currently operates two offices, on Wooddale Boulevard and Dallas Drive, in north Baton Rouge.
