By james art LIVINGSTON — The Livingston Parish president says Baton Rouge General Hospital plans to build a $50 million medical facility along Juban Road.
In a Facebook post last weekend, the parish government said Parish President Randy Dellatt met with hospital and political leaders, along with the state Economic Development Commission, to discuss the development. The parish called it a “game changer” for the parish, bringing quality health care closer to home.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to we are working with BR General management and we are ready to support this project every step of the way,” Delatte wrote. “This is all about strengthening our parish, providing essential resources and giving back to our community.
The Advocate reported that last year the hospital purchased land at the southwest corner of the intersection of Interstate 12 and Juban Road and that, subject to the necessary approvals, groundbreaking could be done in 2025.
