Shreveport Common play online

SHREVEPORT COMMON is a historic, long-blighted nine-block area located at the eastern edge of Shreveports oldest neighborhood, Ledbetter Heights now a HUD Choice neighborhood, and the western edge of downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. Over 50 public/private partners are transforming the area following a year-long Creative Placemaking Vision Planning process. To date, public and private stakeholders have invested over $55,000,000 of a $100,000,000 Portfolio of community-changing Projects including historic preservation, saving and re-purposing endangered buildings and unused parcels to create mixed rate - mixed use spaces for artist/creatives live/work, market places and makerspaces, unique public art, programming and new community greenspaces. Implementation continues based on the promise of the Shreveport Common Vision Plan and the communitys tenets for the UNCOMMON Community; that the transformation will be built on the Authenticity of the area, Creativity, Sustainability and for Community with no displacement of the current neighbors; instead keeping the neighbors integral to the revitalization.
