We, the undersigned stakeholders of Shreveport, are writing to express our strong support for the upcoming bond initiative that will fund vital capital improvements throughout our community. As members deeply invested in the well-being and prosperity of our city, we believe that passing this bond is essential for ensuring a thriving future for generations to come. A comprehensive bond package of this kind has not been approved in Shreveport since 2011.
This bond initiative represents a critical opportunity to address pressing infrastructure needs, enhance public facilities, and invest in key projects that will elevate the quality of life for all residents. From upgrading water and sewage systems and revitalizing parks to modernizing public buildings and improving city roads in dire need of repair, the proposed capital improvements will have a tangible and positive impact on our community’s infrastructure, economy, and overall vitality.
We firmly believe that investing in these capital projects is not only a wise financial decision but also a reflection of our collective commitment to building a stronger, more resilient community. By supporting this bond initiative, we demonstrate our dedication to fostering sustainable growth, fostering economic development, and creating a more inclusive and vibrant city for everyone.
We urge all residents to join us in voting “yes” for the bond initiative on April 27th. Early voting is April 13th-20th. Together, we can seize this opportunity to make significant strides towards a bright future for Shreveport.
