the airport produces its own revenues for operations and does not use local tax revenues.BTR is also involved in the community, including hosting the ARC Baton Rouge Plane Pull fundraiser, Wings for Autism, and participating in many other civic and charity events. The Friends of BTR Golf Tournament raised $10,000 last year for the Baton Rouge Area Habitat for Humanity.
