The I-69 Mid Continent  Coalition, Inc.will hold a series of public forums this month to discuss the status of the Interstate 69 project.
The first meeting will be held in Bossier City Wednesday, May 6, for Bossier, Caddo and Red River Parishes. The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. at the Bossier Civic Center, 620 Benton Road.
Bossier City Mayor Lo Walker, who is president of the I-69 Mid Continent  Coalition, Inc. executive committee, plans to attend this week’s meeting in Bossier as well as others scheduled later this month. Walker, along with Max LeComte, Executive Director of the Coordinating and Development Corporation (who also serves as the Mid Continent Coalition Louisiana vice-president) will be on hand to provide the public with an overview of the I-69 project.
The public is invited to attend and will be able to ask questions about plans regarding development of I-69 in northwest Louisiana. There will also be an opportunity to sign up to become a Team Member of the I-69 Coalition, Inc.
The next meetings will be held Wednesday, May 13, at 2 p.m. at the Claiborne Parish Library @ Homer, 909 Edgewood Drive (For Claiborne, Webster, Lincoln, and Bienville Parishes) and Wednesday, May 20, at 2 p.m. at the Stonewall Community Center, 5208 Hwy. 3276 (For DeSoto, Sabine, and Natchitoches Parishes).
It would be nice to see I-49 finished before starting another interstate project.
