Development code & ordinance changes likely, EBR drainage director tells frustrated residents

Speaking before a packed house of fed-up residents Tuesday night, Fred Raiford, transportation and drainage director for East Baton Rouge, hinted changes to the parish’s development code and related ordinances are coming following May flooding.

Raiford attended Councilwoman Denise Amoroso’s district meeting to field questions and explain projects, some already underway and others soon to start, aimed at preventing flooding.
