”We enjoyed for a period after 2005, we enjoyed a very robust television and film industry in the Shreveport area,” Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux said, according to the outlet. “This will bring back, I think, a lot of those people and will rejuvenate that industry in our area. So I think the film industry is about to blossom again in Shreveport.”

He continued, “He’s undertaking all of the maintenance and repair, which is around $160,000 to $170,000 a year. So to look at just the lease payment is not fair to him. We also anticipate he’s going to make several million dollars of improvements to the facility. This is a very serious proposal, a very serious undertaking by him.”
