BREC Seeks Renewal Millage as Park Improvements Continue Across East Baton Rouge

BREC leaders discussed the June 27 vote on renewing the agency's 3.96-mill property tax, emphasizing that it is a renewal, not a new tax. The funding supports park maintenance, operations, repairs, and programming. Officials also highlighted recent improvements, including updated audits, park upgrades, stronger security measures, and new employee training initiatives. The conversation also touched on community input for future park master plans and upcoming events at BREC parks and the Baton Rouge Zoo.
