Survey offers Shreveport-Bossier residents a voice in Destination Master Plan

JOURNAL STAFF

Citizens of Shreveport-Bossier have the opportunity to share their thoughts on the 10-year Destination Master Plan by filling out a new, online resident sentiment survey.

The survey, which allows residents of Caddo and Bossier Parish to provide perceptions of the city in which they live, can be found on the homepage of Shreveport-Bossier.org.

“Shreveport-Bossier City belongs to us all, and it is critically important to hear as many voices as possible as we set long-term goals for our cities and develop a new brand for our area,” said Stacy Brown, president of the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau.

“We are working diligently with partners to offer as many platforms as possible to gather input from our community.”

The primary goal of the Destination Master Plan is to set goals and create initiatives over the next 10 years to attract more investment into the community and increase overall visitor spending in the area.

Recently, three town hall meetings were held where citizens could share ideas and perspectives on Shreveport-Bossier.

Local organizations working together and supporting the project include the City of Shreveport, the City of Bossier City, the Caddo Parish Commission, the Bossier Parish Police Jury, the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, and the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce.

Each person who completes the survey is entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win one of several prizes – including a $100 Visa Gift card. Winners will be chosen the week of Sept. 26.
