At Tuesday s Shreveport City Council meeting, District D Councilman Grayson Boucher seemed to say that the plan to renovate the empty Sears building at Mall St. Vincent into a new headquarters for the Shreveport Police Department is dead.
Boucher, who had been working with a pair of local architects (Brian McNew and Jeff Spikes) about a preliminary renovation plan, told the council, I talked to both.about the Sears building and neither have heard anything from police administration. I m assuming after reading the interview (with SPD Chief Ben Raymond) in The Times that it s probably not an option for us. So, I m not going to go any further with this and waste the architects time, digging into this any more unless the administration tells me (to) move forward.
