Scotlandville Comprehensive Community Development Plan (SCCDP)

The Scotlandville Comprehensive Community Development Plan (SCCDP) is a visionary community revitalization initiative designed to transform Scotlandville, Louisiana, into a vibrant, economically sustainable, and connected community. Developed through an extensive community engagement process in collaboration with Southern University’s Urban + Rural Community Design Research Center & Sinektiks LLC, the plan establishes a comprehensive framework for economic development, neighborhood revitalization, transportation improvements, environmental sustainability, and recreational opportunities. Key elements include a dynamic University District and Commercial Core, an aviation business park, enhanced residential neighborhoods, waterfront redevelopment along the Mississippi River, an Eco-Park, and an interconnected network of parks, greenways, and pedestrian-friendly streets. By leveraging existing community assets, including Southern University and Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, the SCCDP creates a long-term vision for sustainable growth, economic opportunity, and an improved quality of life while preserving Scotlandville’s unique cultural identity.
