MISSION STATEMENT
The Bossier City-Parish Metropolitan
Planning Commission (MPC) was established by Act 189
of 1954 of the Louisiana Legislature and authorized
by the City of Bossier City and Bossier Parish to provide
for comprehensive planning and orderly development
in the City of Bossier City and the unincorporated
part of Bossier Parish lying within five miles of the
City.
The MPCs mission is to provide land
use management, planning and development services to
protect the rights of residents and businesses choosing
to locate in Bossier; to ensure public safety, health
and welfare; to establish standards which are clearly
communicated and consistently enforced; to preserve
and enhance property values; to provide a positive
climate for growth; to enhance the quality of life
of area residents; to provide a public forum for thorough
examination of development-related impacts; and to
serve as a catalyst for broad-based community, business
and public sector involvement in the planning process.
