Zachary residents, taxpayers asked for input on future expansion in the areaBREC to Outline Plans, Ask for Tax

The Recreation and Park Com-mission for the Parish of East Ba-ton Rouge (BREC) will hold a se-ries of community meetings from January through March to gather input about the future direction of the park system. BREC’s new strategic plan, titled “Imagine Your Parks 2: Better Parks – Better Living” will begin with a kick-off meeting on January 16 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Independence Community Park Theatre, 7800 Independence Blvd.

Nine years ago, BREC imple-mented the “Imagine Your Parks” strategic plan, which was created after a year and a half of surveys, community meetings, brainstorm-ing sessions and public planning meetings. Voters in 2004 approved

a $70.5 million; 20-year tax that BREC has used to cover the costs of upgrades through immediate and borrowed funding that will be paid back through the tax stream.

During the past decade, BREC built the Zachary Community Park and Raising Cane’s Dog Park off of Scenic Hwy.

The results have provided East Baton Rouge Parish with a bet-ter park system featuring 12 new community parks, five dog parks, Liberty Lagoon Water Park,

skateboard parks, fishing ponds, a new conservation area for hikers and nature lovers, improved play-grounds, a grow-ing trails system, a mobile play-ground unit as well as renovations to our neighborhood parks and special use facilities.

A Tax to Fund BREC is end-ing this year, and now BREC is asking for a new 6.2 mil property tax on the April Ballot to con-tinue current operations levels. Because Zachary taxpayers pay a disproportionate share of the tax

burden for East Baton Rouge par-ish because of elevated property values compared to the rest of the parish, BREC leaders are looking for more input from Zachary area residents.

As part of BREC’s accredita-tion process, the agency creates and implements a strategic plan every 10 years to guide the prog-ress of the system. The new strate-gic plan will be used from 2015– 2024. BREC is one of only 106 nationally accredited park systems in the country and was recently recognized as among the top ten recreational systems in the nation.

“During the last strategic plan-

Adam Knapp, President and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber of Commerce (BRAC), told the Zachary POST on January 6: “2014 should be a very good year for the northern parts of East Baton Rouge Parish, the Feliciana’s and even St. Helena Par-ish.”

“The driving force will be the ex-panding Tuscaloosa Shale develop-ment,” Knapp said. “We are already seeing substantial infrastructure de-velopments taking place, such as the Genesis Company Storage and Pipe-line Project at Port Hudson.

“We think the Tuscaloosa Shale development will move forward at a steady pace with more oil and gas support companies moving into the area as the expected exploration in-tensifies. The project in Port Hudson positions Genesis to be a major player in the transportation of crude oil by

truck, pipeline, train and barge.”When the Genesis project was

first announced in February 2013, it was projected to be a $125 mil-lion investment creating 50 new direct jobs with an annual salary of $80,000 plus benefits. In other ben-efits, 45 construction jobs were an-ticipated being created and 220 new indirect jobs. Unconfirmed reports indicate that those numbers may grow slightly by the time the opera-tion is online.

The original plans for the Gen-esis project called for the construc-tion of an 18 mile 20 inch diameter pipeline from the Port Hudson op-erations to connect to ExxonMobil’s Baton Rouge Refinery. The plans call for modernizing and expanding the Genesis terminal in Port Hudson and building a new crude oil unit

ning process, BREC staff heard loud and clear that East Baton Rouge Parish residents wanted more quality parks, a higher level of maintenance and the devel-opment of a trail system among other things,” said Superintendent Carolyn McKnight. “The staff has worked tirelessly to implement this plan and the result is one of the most successful tax initiatives in Parish history. Now it’s time to build on that imagination and we ask that you attend at least one of these meetings, participate in our online conversations and make your voice heard as we plan the future of parks in East Baton Rouge Parish.”

BREC will utilize an online tool called Mind Mixer for people who aren’t able to attend a com-munity meeting, or who want to participate in all phases of the de-velopment of the strategic plan. Along with the public meetings, the agency will meet with stake-holder groups; compile the results of community surveys and work toward the creation of a plan, which will require Commission approval by the end of 2014.

First South Farm Credit Opens New Office on Old Scenic HighwayBy James Ronald skains

First South Farm Credit is now open for business in their new of-fice building at 19550 Old Sce-nic Highway near the Copper Mill School in Zachary.

“We plan on having a grand opening on February 27th from 2-4 PM,” Russell Kent, Assistant Vice President of Lending, told the Zach-ary POST. “This building is a huge improvement over the office build-ing where we were located previ-ously on Hwy 19. It’s much easier for people to find us, plus we have enough room to host small groups and events.”

Kent, an LSU Agribusiness graduate, is a Clinton native who still lives in the hills of Feliciana. He and his wife, Amelia, have a cattle operation spread across a few pastures in the Feliciana’s.

On the other hand, Kent’s loan officer, Tim Losavio is a city boy having graduated from Catholic High School in Baton Rouge before attending LSU.

“I didn’t grow up on a farm or have a direct connection to agricul-ture; however, I gravitated to agri-culture enterprises during my teen-age years,” Losavio told the POST. “My mentor was Buddy Miller who owns Plantation Pecan Company in Waterproof.”

“Mr. Buddy is regular at the Red Stick Farmer’s Market in down-town Baton Rouge. I began helping him at his booth at the Market on Saturday’s, and then had the op-

portunity to work for him a couple of summers on his farm in Water-proof. When I started to LSU, I was pursuing other academic courses but the more I worked with Mr. Buddy, the more I came to realize how much I liked agriculture busi-ness. In fact, Mr. Buddy was the one who told me of the job opening with First South Farm Credit.”

First South Farm Credit is the

Farm Credit System’s largest lend-ing institution in Alabama, Louisi-ana, and Mississippi, and the only institution offering uninterrupted loans and financial services since it was chartered in 1933. The cor-porate office is located in Jackson, Mississippi and has 48 offices sys-tem wide throughout the 3 states with 205 employees. The loan volume is $1.4 billion with 5,000

members.“I think we are one of the best

kept secret in Louisiana,” Kent ac-knowledged. “Most people, even in agriculture and forestry, aren’t aware of all the types of financing we have available.”

“We have financing available for purchasing land as well as re-financing land you have already purchased. We also finance land for

recreational and hunting purposes. Also we finance timber tracts of land and land improvements such as ponds, lakes and barns. In addi-tional to our mainstay of financing crop production, cattle, and poultry production, we offer loans for agri-business such as equipment financ-ing and all aspects of agriculture and forestry with long term amor-tizations.”

“We also have specialized lend-ing programs for the young farmer provided they are age 35 or younger or they are a beginning farmer who is classified as having less than ten years’ experience in farming, ranch-ing or aquatics,” Kent explained. We also have special lending pro-grams for the small farmer who has an annual gross income of less than $250,000 in agriculture, cattle or aquatics.”

Once a qualified borrower se-cures a loan from First South Cred-it, they become a stockholder in the agricultural cooperative. The bor-rower receives the right to share in the profits of First South Credit, which are referred to as patronage

refunds.“Within the last 20 years, First

South Credit has returned $209 million in patronage refunds,” Kent emphasized. “In 2011, First South Farm Credit returned $9 million in patronage refunds. In 2012, the re-fund was $12 million.”

After each year, the Board of Di-rectors of First South Farm Credit may choose to retain net income to strengthen its capital position or distribute some or all of the net income to members by declaring a patronage refund. Each of the three states that make up the First South Farm Credit cooperative have sev-en members each on the Board of Directors with two Directors from outside the cooperative.

Each shareholder in the coop-erative has one vote for a Director. The Board of Director members from Louisiana are Daniel Mat-tingly, James M. Norsworthy, Amy C. Ellender, Thomas Parker, Ted S. Passmore, Gaston L. Lanaux III, Dale Thibodeaux, and Daniel Viator. Roger Chappell is the Presi-dent/CEO of the Jackson based ag-

riculture cooperative.“We have 12 offices in Louisi-

ana,” Kent noted. “The Zachary office is a branch office as well as the division office for Louisiana. David Wilson is our Division Man-ager.”

“Our loan to value ratio is 80% of either the appraised value or the purchase price, whichever is the lower amount. We have in-house processors so the turnaround for a borrower with a verified salary is 48 hours or less. When we get into other entities it takes longer to get all the financial information together, but we still have a quick turnaround when compared to the

market place.”“My job, as well as Tim’s job,

is to get out and meet as many po-tential loan customers as we can in the area and let them know how we can help their agricultural or for-estry operations,” Kent explained. “We can even finance sawmills and logging equipment. Tim and I are working on trying to get First South Farm Credit to not continue to be the best kept secret in Zach-ary and the Feliciana’s. We are ac-tive with the 4-H, Farm Bureau groups, cattle and forestry groups

train facility.An overlay map of the Genesis

Port Hudson Facilities shows 3 dis-tinct areas of operation: Port Hudson Truck Facilities, Port Hudson Tank Facility, and the Port Hudson Dock Facility. Genesis is scheduled to add 200,000 barrels of crude oil storage capability to its existing 216,000 barrels of storage capacity.

At the time of announcement of its plans for Port Hudson, Genesis En-ergy Chief Executive Officer Grant Sims said in a prepared statement: “This project positions Genesis as an

efficient conduit for crude oil supply and logistics in the region.”

The Genesis project at Port Hud-son provides Zachary and the Felici-ana’s with a huge potential economic upside as the Tuscaloosa Shale de-velopment comes on line. Expansion of the facilities could happen in the very near future for the storage tank, blending and logistics operation.

Genesis has made a huge long term commitment to the Zachary/Port Hudson area. The new Genesis pipeline will connect the Port Hud-son facility to ExxonMobil proper-ties that include the Maryland Ter-minal, the Anchorage Tank Farm in West Baton Rouge and the Exx-onMobil refinery in Baton Rouge.

Genesis also secured preferential rights for throughput at the facilities noted above. The pipeline will have an ultimate capacity of 350,000 bar-rels per day.

“With the expansion of our op-erations in Louisiana, Genesis looks forward to a strong future in the state and an increase in our contribution to the local economy,” Steve Na-thanson, President of Genesis, said at the time of the announcement of plans for Port Hudson. “This project positions Genesis as an efficient mid-stream provider for crude oil supply and logistics in the region. Genesis is committed to being a good neighbor. We intend to hire locally where pos-sible, during the construction phase and long-term operations of the fa-cilities.”

Knapp, the President of BRAC, also pointed out that the future of the KPAQ Paper Mill looked bright, especially with the re-opening of the railroad from KPAQ to Baton Rouge. According to the BRAC information, the operation of the GP mill at Port Hudson was very positive.

Knapp in his presentation to the Baton Rouge Press Club noted, “The economic boom that we are experi-encing is truly amazing. Some areas in BRAC’s nine parish area may be getting a little more economic de-velopment at the moment than other areas, but all of the parishes in the

Baton Rouge Metro Area are seeing positive economic development. We must look at economic development as a regional event. After seeing how well BRAC’s plans have worked in the nine parish region, we are think-ing of super-regional economic de-velopment plans that would include New Orleans and Lafayette.”

Governor Bobby Jindal addressed the Baton Rouge Press Club at a spe-cial Wednesday luncheon. Governor Jindal noted the economic boom in the Baton Rouge Metro area: “Never in my lifetime have I seen so much great economic development in the Baton Rouge area. I never thought that I would see a time when we had more good jobs to fill and not enough qualified workers to imme-diately fill the jobs. During the 2014 Legislative session, our top priority will be Work Force Development.”

Governor Jindal also announced that he and a small team including LED Director Steve Moret will be leaving on the January 11 for a weeklong trip to three Asian coun-tries promoting Louisiana as the best place for investments and plant lo-cations. Jindal and his small team of economic development experts will visit South Korea, Japan, and Tai-wan. During the trip, Jindal and his group will meet with CEO’s of 10 companies headquartered in those countries.

Pt. Hudson, Louisiana Pipeline System, purchased from BP Pipeline in 2007, consists of approximately 3.25 miles of pipeline delivering both trucked and field produced crude oil to a barge dock on the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge. This system has approximately 216,000 barrels of above ground storage.

in the area.” “We want to be very market ori-

ented,” Kent concluded. “That is why First South Farm Credit has added recreational land to its port-folio. We also realized that to be market oriented, we needed to de-velop specific programs for young farmers, first time farmers, and small time farmers.”

Writer’s note: First South Farm Credit has a low turnover in em-ployees. Some employees have been employed with First South for doz-ens of years which allows long time relations to be built with their cus-tomers. When there are job open-ings, First South seems to look to-ward filling specific positions with young people who possess either a background in agriculture or agri-business degrees.
