=== Growth and redevelopment === On April 20, 2017, in their joint "State of Bossier" address, hosted by the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Lo Walker, and Bossier Parish Police Jury President Bob Brotherton described the growth of the city and parish as "outstanding." With a population of 69,000 in a 2015 study by [[Louisiana State University]], Bossier City had become the sixth-largest city in the state and the fastest-growing one. Walker said that the city and the [[parish]] "work extremely close together, and our business and civic leaders and military make us an outstanding parish." The parish grew at 19%; the city grew at 10%. According to the Bossier Economic Development Foundation, the city could have reached 80,000 by 2019. Ongoing projects contributing to growth include the Walter O. Bigby Carriageway (the north parkway extension named for former [[Louisiana House of Representatives|state representative]] and [[judge]] Walter O. Bigby), Shed Road construction, and the South Bossier redevelopment districts.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2017/04/21/mayor-bossier-now-6th-largest-city-state/100740440/|title=Mayor: Bossier 6th largest city in state|author=Sarah Crawford|date=April 22, 2017|newspaper=[[The Times (Shreveport)|The Shreveport Times]]|access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref>
