“BRF and EAP are serving as an innovation hub in North Louisiana and brightening the spotlight on Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana as the economic center of our region,” said Mayor Perkins. “I would like to congratulate them on their $1.2 million expansion and on the success of this concept, which has now been validated by the U.S. Economic Development Administration.”
