Provide a summary of the project or program:
           A good Deed Foundation, with the support of the Scotlandville Food Commission, is requesting Capital Outlay funding for the development of a much-needed grocery store in the Scotlandville neighborhood of Baton Rouge. This project aims to address a critical need for accessible, affordable, and fresh food options in an area that currently faces limited access to grocery stores and essential services.

Scotlandville is a historically underserved community where the over 15,000 residents and 10,000 students lack convenient access to fresh produce, meats, and other essential grocery items. This project will develop a full-service grocery store and other retail spaces which will not only meet these needs but will also serve as a local economic catalyst, creating jobs and enhancing neighborhood stability.

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          We aim to eliminate the food desert identified by the USDA in the North Baton Rouge community. This area urgently needs a grocery store and other essential community resources.

This project will introduce a new grocery store and is expected to create over 100 new jobs, generating more than eight figures in tax revenue for the area.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          We plan to achieve these goals by working collaboratively with the State of Louisiana, the Office of the Mayor-President of Baton Rouge, the Office of Community Development, Southern University, and various other local stakeholders.

Additionally, we have partnered with a grocery store brand that is deeply familiar with this community and its unique challenges. This brand offers a range of services beyond just food, including valuable health, financial, and family resources. We have also identified a high-traffic location in the heart of the community that will greatly benefit those in need.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           18-24 Months
