About Shreveport Next

Launched in September 2020, Shreveport Next proactively recruits small to mid-sized businesses to relocate to or build facilities in the Shreveport-Bossier area, promoting our region’s logistics, workforce, opportunity and capital for businesses. What sets Shreveport Next apart is BRF’s ability to go beyond traditional economic incentives to provide opportunities to relocating companies.

Since 2020, Shreveport Next has met with more than 400 company executives and built a pipeline worth billions of dollars of capital investment.

Shreveport Next brings BRF’s values of Innovation, Collaboration, Problem Solving and Bold Action to economic development recruitment, creating a recruitment strategy unique to the Shreveport region.

Well Connected. To the World.

With a population close to 440,000 people, Shreveport and neighboring Bossier City comprise Louisiana’s third largest metropolitan area. The twin cities and surrounding communities have emerged as the thriving economic, educational, medical and cultural hub of Northwest Louisiana.

Shreveport sits 20 miles from Texas and 50 miles from Arkansas – three hours east of Dallas and five hours northwest of New Orleans. Within a day’s drive, businesses can access more than 40 million consumers in some of America’s largest markets.
