North Louisiana Site Clears Contaminants for Industrial Redevelopment
What happened
The North Louisiana Economic Partnership successfully removed environmental contaminants from over 850,000 square feet of the I-20 Legacy Site, which was formerly the Libbey Glass manufacturing facility in Shreveport. This work allows for full-scale demolition, which began in April and is expected to continue through mid-2027. Approximately 95% of the site's steel, brick, and concrete materials are being recycled.

Why it matters
The site is being prepared to become a premier industrial opportunity featuring interstate frontage, rail access, and existing industrial-grade utility infrastructure. This transformation is a major step in preparing a strategically located industrial property for future investment in North Louisiana.
