Land Use |
The specific site is currently vacant. It is near an existing “scrapyard” (the AWP catalyst site), but also near several properties listed on the National Historic Register, including a water works museum and a unique Waddell Truss Bridge. It is also adjacent to the Shreveport Convention Center Complex which recently received the Region 6 Phoenix Award. |
|---|
Infrastructure |
The property has frontage on the urban portion of a significant state highway and includes access to all public utilities and local government services. It is immediately adjacent to a rail spur whose future use is expected to be very limited. |
|---|
Assessment Level |
None
The AWP included a “windshield survey” of historic uses and likely environmental contaminants. It is not believed that much, if any of the anticipated contamination occurred under the current ownership. |
