City of Shreveport 2014 Annual Operating Budget About the cover: “City on the Rise” The City of Shreveport celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2014. In its history, the city has acquired several top rankings nationally, most recently being named among the Top 10 Cities on the Rise and Top 20 Best Cities to Start a Business. The City has sustained a commitment to the quality of life of our citizens and sustained services without laying off employees during one of the toughest economies in the nation’s history. The City rolled back property taxes and reduced the City’s bond debt. TBONE (Taking Back Our Neighborhood Everyday) facilitated proactive steps to reduce blight and the city’s crime rate has fallen to record low levels for the past two years. For the first time in over 50 years the City laid out a comprehensive master plan that addresses the priorities of a cross-section of the city and community. More than $350 million has been committed to rehabilitate the city’s wastewater infrastructure. The citizens approved $175 million bond issue for projects that have improved the city’s infrastructure, public buildings and public safety facilities. Local efforts for economic development are attracting new businesses like RonPak, Pratt Industries, Schumberger, Benteler Steel, and Whole Foods. Even more will surely follow. Shreveport has played a significant role in the film industry with the production of dozens of feature films and the development of a number of production studios such as Millennium, Blade, Stageworks, and the Oscar-winning Moonbot Studios. The Shreveport Common Vision for arts-led community revitalization has been boasted nationally as a leading example of creative placemaking. Sci-Port, voted the nation’s 8th best science center celebrated its 3-millionth visitor and the City continues a 40-year tradition of being the smallest market to host a college bowl game. Mayor Cedric B. Glover continues to illustrate that the way to measure greatness and gauge the vision for the future and why Shreveport is poised to become “The next great city of the South” is to go up on the good lists and down on the bad. The trajectory up the good lists bodes well for Shreveport’s future. CITY OF SHREVEPORT 2014 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET Cedric B. Glover MAYOR Dale L.
