This publication is a user friendly version of the full Great Expectations Shreveport-Caddo

2030 Master Plan. It contains printed summaries of key chapters as well as a compact

disk that contains the entire master plan in a digital format. This multimedia approach to

distribution allows the Metropolitan Planning Commission of Shreveport-Caddo to make

the entire master plan accessible to a large audience. The printed copy of the plan is available at each

branch of the Shreve Memorial Library and at other public locations in the planning area.

This master plan is neither aprediction nor aprojection of the future. It is a plan. Built on the

ambitious vision of Shreveport-Caddo residents, it recognizes the existence of obstacles and

unresolved practical questions. It provides strategies for overcoming those obstacles and answering

those questions. But no plan is self-implementing. We will have to implement it. A new era of

partnershipsgovernment, residents, businesses, institutions, and nonprots all working together

can bring this ambitious vision to reality.

WHATS IN THE PLAN? HOW SHOULD I READ IT?

The Shreveport-Caddo Master Plan includes an executive summary and covers a broad range of

topics in 13 chapters about current trends, the planning process, all aspects of community life

that affect the way our city and parish can develop in the future, and implementation actions. The

plan can be read all the way through or selectively, according to the readers interests. Government

agencies, businesses, nonprot institutions, and others can choose specic topics relevant to their

activities.
