SUMMARY: The 2025 Shreveport budget emphasizes street improvements and blight reduction, totaling $689 million, a 6% increase from 2024. It includes a capital improvements budget of $1.46 million with $36 million allocated for new projects, financed by recently approved bonds worth over $250 million. These initiatives aim to revitalize business and job opportunities in the wake of reduced sales tax revenue in 2024. However, the budget projects a $7 million deficit, prompting reductions in other areas, including public safety funding, despite a mandatory 2% salary increase for police and fire personnel. Significant vehicle purchases for these departments are also not feasible.
