In addition to water and sewer service and siteappropriate zoning from the city of Shreveport, the Hunter Industrial Park offers fiber-optic broadband service from AT&T. The property, which may be subdivided into parcels of 25 or more acres, is represented by Paul Draper of Walker-Alley & Associates.
