Walker Place could be the catalyst for south Bossier

Linc Coleman, developer of the prospective Walker Place mixed-use development, will update the South Bossier Community at Fellowship United Methodist Church, located at 4750 Barksdale Blvd., Bossier City, near Bodacious Bar-B-Q on Thursday, Aug. 19th @ 6:30 pm. All are invited to attend.


David Melville, pastor of Fellowship United Methodist Church stated, “There are problems to be resolved in any great effort. I urge all involved to resolve any access issues preventing development of Walker Place so that we in South Bossier can reap the benefits of jobs, housing, shopping, dining and more. Let the visionaries do what they do best, for we have seen time and time again that our world would be less alive without them.”

Walker Place is a mixed-use development of 52-acres located north of the CenturyTel Center that would contain residences, town homes, shops, business offices, restaurants, parks and other amenities in a single location. Walker Place is estimated to provide: $150 Million in investment, $500 Million economic impact, and 1,400 – 1,950 employees to be housed on the development.

Walker Place would provide much needed activities such as parks and retail and restaurants. After attending an event at CenturyTel, there is nowhere (in south Bossier) for the public to go, and Walker Place could provide that amenity.

The U. L. Coleman Companies provide a full range of commercial real estate services throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, and the southern region.
