Sobre o local

Baton Rouge operates as Louisiana's political capital and a major industrial hub along the Mississippi.

State government and heavy industry define the urban structure. The state consolidated its administrative branches downtown at the Capitol Park complex, making public administration a major employer. Along the river, industrial terminals serve as the farthest inland port accessible to ocean-going tankers, transferring cargo onto pipelines, rail lines, and barges. Petrochemical plants form the industrial core.
