BATON ROUGE, LA – Redevelopment of the former Earl K. Long Medical Center is moving forward after a Dallas-based bank awarded Partners Southeast with $4 million for a planned senior living community.
Partners Southeast was awarded the grant by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas for its Cypress at Wards Creek and Capstone at North Point senior living communities, according to an announcement from the housing developer.
Efforts to transform the Earl K. Long Medical Center have been ongoing for nearly a decade. The public, state-run hospital closed in 2013 and was demolished in 2015. The land, where Airline Highway crosses Greenwell Street, sat empty while multiple attempts to redevelop it stalled out over the past 10 years.
