BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) -- St. George leaders announced a proposed agreement for tax revenue to be transferred to the new city while services provided by East Baton Rouge Parish continue. The proposal includes an "immediate payment of tax revenue upon ratification retroactive to July 1, 2024, in an amount equaling $1.25 million per month through December 31, 2024," according to St. George leaders. City leaders said St. George should receive an amount equal to $1.5 million per month from Jan. 1, 2025, to May 31, 2025, and $2 million for June 2025. Leaders said St. George will keep paying East Baton Rouge Parish for services it provides and when the new city provides that service, the tax revenue from that expense will be transferred to St. George.
