Today is a great day for the City of Zachary, we broke ground on a project that marks a significant step forward in our public safety infrastructure. The construction of a new 310-foot self-supporting communications tower is not just a structure—it’s a lifeline for our first responders.
Located near Pride Port Hudson and Hwy. 19, this new tower will greatly enhance communication capabilities between our police, sheriff’s department, fire services, and EMS teams. For too long, our radio communications in this area have been unreliable and inconsistent. With the nearest tower located on Gurney Lane in Central, having a tower here in Zachary means quicker, clearer, and more dependable communication when seconds count.
We are incredibly grateful to the East Baton Rouge Communications District Board for allocating the necessary funding to make this project possible. "Your commitment to improving public safety is deeply appreciated. We also want to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Larry Powenski, the landowner of this site, for his unwavering support and dedication in helping us bring this vision to life," says Mayor David McDavid.
Once completed, the City of Zachary will proudly maintain the tower’s generator, lighting, and surrounding grounds—ensuring that it continues to serve our community for many years to come.
This tower represents progress, preparedness, and partnership—and we are proud to see it rise right here in Zachary.
All Zachary Municipal offices will be closed on Thursday, April 17 in observance of the Good Friday holiday —with the exception of Zachary City Court, which will remain open.
Garbage & Recycling Pickup will not be affected and will run on its regular schedule.
