There is an economic need for a tourist attraction to Ouachita Parish and surrounding areas, hence the recent discussion of casino development. Although the concept has some merit, there is a large population that finds there are ethical, economic and aesthetic issues with the idea.



The purpose of this petition is to ask our local governments to initiate a viability study for options outside of the development of a casino, specifically an amusement park or entertainment complex.

Corporate sponsors from the area may be interested in funding the study.

Imagine a quaint shopping district with outlets, Ouachita River boat tours, outdoor entertainers and vendors, fountains and gardens surrounding an amusement park or entertainment complex.

This option would create a larger variety of employment positions for our somewhat depressed economy, and create much needed revenues for the betterment of our schools and students.
It would beg folks just passing through to take a weekend trip and visit us here for a closer look at all our region has to offer, thereby improving our local economy.

Finally, it would give our families somewhere to spend time together in leisure and our children the opportunity for a brighter future.

We are only asking for the consideration and further investigation into our economic options. The future of our region, and our children is at stake. More than one "choice" is a very reasonable request.
