Growing Rapidly

Denham Springs is just outside of Baton Rouge, La. It is in Livingston Parish/County.
Population growth, median income, quality of living are all above average within the parish and have been for the last 15 years+. These positive attributes are directly linked to the Public Education here as being the best in the state for many years. That alone has been the sole driver of the growth of community consisting of people that have great jobs, live here to send their kids to the public schools, but mainly work in the Baton Rouge area. However, with the new installation of a Bass Pro Shop tourist attration and other economic catalyst that are positive, this once quite town with great schools and a great atmosphere to raise a family will become something of a tourist attraction to the tune of three million annually. In addition, a new hospital, minor league baseball team stadium, and a development that is often referred to as a city within a city is scheduled to begin construction within the year, give or take. This development will be located one exit (2.5 miles) east of the Bass Pro Shop cite. I feel with the expansion will come only positives for the area. Finally, Denham Springs and its neighbors within the parish/county are far enough inland to be sheltered from all the major Hurricanes that have come thru in the last decade, so there is no threat in this regard.
