A message from the Metropolitan Planning Commission
The Metropolitan Planning Commission guides land use in the City of Shreveport and the urbanized areas of Caddo Parish. Our commissioners are excited to be underway with Great Expectations 2030, the master plan for our community. The Master Plan will cover the full range of planning elements: neighborhoods, housing, parks, recreation, public facilities, economic development, transportation, infrastructure, environment, and land use, closely coordinating with ongoing school planning as well. The Great Expectations 2030 planning process seeks to engage the entire community in conversations about what you want Shreveport Caddo to be like in twenty years. What is YOUR vision for the community we all call home? We hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities for you to share your ideas and concerns. This website will be updated frequently and on it will be posted all presentations, notes, and draft documents. You can tell us what’s on your mind and learn what others think, too. Great Expectations 2030 needs to be the handiwork of the entire community. With broad ownership we can achieve our vision – together.

A message from the City of Shreveport Mayor
Welcome to the official Great Expectations website, where you will find up-to-date information on every aspect of the planning process. The plan will establish an overall vision for our future and a set of policies and strategies for achieving it during the next twenty years. To guide us well, the plan needs to reflect the perspectives of everyone in Greater Shreveport. Moreover, creating it is our opportunity to build partnerships between neighborhoods, business, non-profits, and government so we can work together to implement it. We hope you find this website informative and fun and will take the opportunity to share with us your thoughts about the future of Shreveport – Caddo. Please join us in shaping the future of your community. 
Very best regards, Mayor Cedric Glover
A message from the Caddo Parish Commission
Many of us spend a lot of time thinking about the future. What we do today will, to a large extent, help shape our future. One of Caddo Parish government's responsibilities is to anticipate, plan and prepare for the vitality of the community it represents. We are the fourth largest parish in Lousiana and Shreveport is our largest municipality. The Caddo Parish Commission is pleased to play a significant role in the creation of the Master Plan. This 20 year plan will serve as a blueprint of the shared vision, future aspirations, and needs of our community. Talk to your friends and neighbors and bring your ideas to the Great Expectations Visioning Forum on August 22nd. There will also be public workshops during the Fall and Winter: Participate in them and help make your master plan what you want it to be.
Commissioner Stephanie Lynch, PresidentCaddo Parish Commission
