Bossier City’s Finance Director Warns of Bad Economic News
Last week, Bossier City Council finance director Angela Williamson reported January 2024 tax revenue for Bossier City is down 17.6% below the 2023 comparable. Then Rocky Rockett of Greater Bossier Economic Development Foundation also warned in Bossier Now that the Bossier economy has slowed, and “Quarter-over-quarter, from 2022 to 2023, retail sales were down in the City (-8.66%) and Parish (-2.6%) in the fourth quarter of 2023.” Yes, we have dark clouds overhead.
