SHREVEPORT, LA – What is next for Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his big plans for investment in Shreveport. KEEL News has learned he is continuing to look for properties in downtown Shreveport. But he’s also looking at other properties around the city.
His team has even expressed some interest in the old Libby Glass Plant at I-20 and Jewella which is currently for sale. We don’t know yet what his plan could be for that property.

What Amenities Is Jackson Pushing For?
We know he has expressed an interest in bringing more housing and restaurants to downtown Shreveport. He also wants to add more quality-of-life events to the heart of the city. After his Humor and Harmony Festival, Jackson posted an online message saying “we need more pools and more hotels, I’ve got work to do.”
He’s already talked about plans to build a permanent G-Dome in downtown Shreveport. That would likely be built at the site on Commerce where the temporary dome was located.
The Big Plan for Shreveport
Jackson wants to transform downtown Shreveport into a vibrant community. He’s planning a revitalization effort followed by bringing in more housing and youth programs. The plan for youngsters would include a permanent jump park. No location has been set for that.
