Governor Landry promises ‘greatest opportunities’ will come to NWLA

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry visited Bossier City to share a ‘State of the State’ legislative update with the northwest Louisiana community.

Governor Landry was the keynote speaker at the Bossier Chamber of Commerce 2024 State of the State luncheon. He shared some of his agenda items and key initiatives implemented for the state.

“I said it on the campaign trail, and I’m going to deliver on it. North and Central Louisiana have the greatest opportunities. I mean, and I, for once of all you’re going to have a governor that going to absolutely deliver it in a way that is going to be generational changes in this state, ” said Louisiana Governor, Jeff Landry.

He spoke about his statewide plans to improve local economies, the field of education, state transportation and infrastructure, and more.

“The things that we find that are working. We want to be able to duplicate those or replicate those around the state. We are hyper-focused on the juvenile crime issue right now,” said Landry.

Landry also highlighted his accomplishments and goals for the future. He claimed that he would transform Louisiana into a new “industrial south.”

Many local and state public officials said they gained more trust in the governor’s commitment.

“To have him here to talk to the business community and regular citizens as well as elected officials, all of us in one room to listen to and hear his vision. I think Vision is a very important step forward for our area,

“You know, they never going to agree one hundred percent of everything that may be put out there, but I think we owe it to him to hear his ideas, see his vision, and to see what parts of that we can support and that there are some areas that we need to have further discussion. I think that he has [an] open mind, for that too,” said State Senator Sam Jenkins of District 39.
