Cleco, an investor-owned utility serving nearly 300,000 customers in 24 parishes, has begun its search for a buyer and sent proposals to potential buyers with responses expected within six months — state regulators received the request today.

Local lawmakers stressed the sale must protect jobs and keep the company’s headquarters in Pineville.

Willis-Knighton donated $48,000 Monday afternoon—money used to buy 10 cameras for the Anglin/Myers Initiative, a crime prevention effort by the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office and Shreveport Police Department that aims to speed crime solving and prevent further violence.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry is flying to Paris this week with Economic Development Secretary Susan Bourgeois to attend the International Paris Air Show — he will promote the state’s growing aerospace industry and seek international investment.

The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office and Shreveport Fire Department will host free fire safety workshops at Sheriff’s Safety Town on June 25, July 10 and July 31 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.—participants must be 14 and older to receive hands-on training on fire extinguisher use.

Shreveport leaders launched the Block By Block initiative on Monday to fight blight by surveying neighborhoods, cleaning up lots and planning to turn neglected spaces into homes and businesses.
