Welcome to Shreveport's Economic Development One-Stop, your gateway to discover the opportunities and advantages of doing business in our great city. As Mayor of Shreveport, I am proud to share the exciting momentum we are building, fueled by strategic investments, publicprivate partnerships, and a renewed vision for economic growth.
Shreveport is on the move. Over the past year, we have celebrated major economic wins that are bringing jobs, innovation, and renewed investment to our city. The arrival of Amazon's fulfillment center has created over 1,000 jobs, strengthening our position as a regional logistics hub. Additionally, the G-Unit Film & Television Studios project led by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is set to revitalize our media and entertainment industry, drawing national attention, and expanding creative opportunities in our region.
Beyond business recruitment, we are making historic investments in infrastructure and quality of life. The $256 million bond issue, overwhelmingly approved by voters, will modernize roads, public safety facilities, and essential infrastructure, ensuring that Shreveport remains competitive and attractive for businesses and residents alike.
My vision is to establish Shreveport as a thriving hub for economic development, where businesses can start, expand, and succeed with confidence. Our skilled workforce, strategic location, and probusiness policies make us an ideal destination for companies looking to grow. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a Fortune 500 company, or somewhere in between, Shreveport is ready for you.
I invite you to explore the many opportunities our city has to offer.
