On August 4, 2020, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome broke ground on the first MOVEBR construction project, to build new sidewalks and other improvements on 72nd Avenue in North Baton Rouge. The 72nd Avenue project is one of the 15 sidewalk improvement projects that MOVEBR will undertake.
MOVEBR launched a new video library as a resource to meet small businesses for teaming opportunities or project work on the MOVEBR program.
