Description

Allendale, Ledbetter Heights and West Edge are the center of the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative. The program aims to transform low-income and struggling communities. “When our inner cities improve, Shreveport improves so we’ll have a more economically viable community,” said Director of Community Development for the City of Shreveport, Bonnie Moore. “In order for people to feel like they have
good quality of life and that they have safe neighborhoods and that they have opportunities, we need to do everything in our power and in our grasp to make that happen,” said Shreveport Mayor, Ollie Tyler.
