A group of residents in an unincorporated suburb of Baton Rouge initially aimed to create a school district, but later decided to form their own city, St. George. After facing setbacks, including a lengthy court battle, the Louisiana Supreme Court recently approved the incorporation of St. George. The new city, with nearly 100,000 residents, will address frustrations about schools, crime, and infrastructure. However, some opponents argue that the city's creation is based on unfounded complaints and could exacerbate division in the parish. The court's ruling has sparked the need for a friendly relationship between St. George and the broader Baton Rouge area. St. George will now begin the process of establishing its own government, but challenges are expected in navigating the transition and managing legacy costs.
