Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced that he has signed the following bills into law from the 2021 Legislative Session.

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) announced that the Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $1.6 million CARES Act Recovery Assistance grant to the Coordinating and Development Corporation, Bossier City, Louisiana, to construct the Northwest Louisiana one-stop resource center, allowing for business development and growth.

BOSSIER CITY, LA – The men’s college basketball match-up between LSU and Louisiana Tech, originally scheduled at Brookshire Grocery Arena on Nov. 24, 2020, is now rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 18.

Bossier City’s Bombers will meet the LA Tigers Saturday, June 19, in the inaugural championship game of the North Louisiana Football Alliance, an adult football league.

There was much clicking of cell phones and cameras for photos June 6. And chatter about art as a large crowd of parents and pals checked out art students’ work at “Project Talent: The Ark Group Exhibit” at Louisiana State Exhibit Museum.

Hot weather and a change of locations did not stop the largest crowds ever from attending the Red River Balloon Rally on Friday, June 11, and Saturday, June 12.
