SHREVEPORT (AP) — A firm that is helping develop a master plan for Shreveport says urban sprawl is costing the city’s taxpayers.
The firm TischlerBise (TISH’ ler BICE’) released its preliminary fiscal evaluation of development patterns in the Shreveport area on Thursday.
The Times of Shreveport reports that the study generally shows that as residents continue to move out from the city’s core, capital and operating costs for infrastructure and services have risen without an increase in revenue.
