BATON ROUGE – BREC will hold community meetings to collect public input across the parish on the proposal to create a regional park at Greenwood and to find another location for the Baton Rouge Zoo. 

The BREC Commission will vote on taking the next step in the process at its meeting on Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. 

The community input meetings will allow residents the opportunity to review potential amenities at both locations, ask questions, share their opinions and vote on ideas.
