The East Baton Rouge Parish Communications District is providing funding for this communications tower, which is estimated to cost $2.3 million. The State Communications LWIN Services has agreed to provide funding for LWIN equipment, (Louisiana Wireless Information Network).

This communications tower will be connected to the LWIN system. This allows Police, Fire, EMS, Sheriff, State Police and other State agencies like Wildlife & Fisheries, along with other Federal agencies, to use this tower site to connect to the LWIN system, improving wireless communication in the Parish.

The communication tower will benefit the citizens of East Baton Rouge Parish by providing better wireless coverage to first responders in the communities surrounding the tower site. The tower will also be able to support two cell phone service providers, which will allow for more reliability when citizens dial 911 for emergency response requests.

The EBRP Communications District entered into a long-term lease of 30 years with the property owner.

The City of Zachary will maintain the Tower.

The EBRP Communications District has not built a freestanding tower of this magnitude (300ft) in the parish since 1994.
