Comcast has announced a significant $19 million investment in Bossier City, Louisiana, aimed at expanding high-speed Internet infrastructure and strengthening its role as a community partner. The initiative, which includes the rollout of new services in select neighborhoods, is expected to be completed by the end of 2026 [1].

Comcast is offering affordable Internet packages starting at $14.95 per month with a five-year price guarantee. This initiative is part of the company's broader mission to close the digital divide and empower residents with reliable digital access [1]. The investment encompasses community engagement through various initiatives, including support for local events, veteran services, and digital access programs like Lift Zones, which provide free WiFi in community centers [1].

This summer, Comcast's presence was felt across Bossier City through its support of beloved local events. The company lit the Bakowski Bridge of Lights in purple, a symbolic gesture of its growing connection to the region. At the Red River Balloon Rally, Comcast brought branded experiences and interactive activities that celebrated the city's vibrant culture and community spirit [1].

Comcast also partnered with the African American Celebration Corporation to host the 5th Annual Free Haircut Giveaway for veterans and military families in Bossier City and Shreveport. The event honored local service members while introducing attendees to Comcast's digital access initiatives [1].

In nearby Shreveport, Comcast team members continued their commitment to community impact. During a recent employee volunteer event, Mike McArdle, Comcast Regional Senior Vice President, recognized the efforts of the Shreveport Team Up Ambassadors, who packed 200 backpacks filled with school supplies for the Back-to-School Supply and Shoe Drive hosted by the African American Parade Committee on August 9 [1].

These community-driven efforts are part of a broader mission supported by Comcast's powerful network infrastructure. Designed to meet the demands of today's digital economy, Comcast's network delivers multi-gigabit speeds, 99.9% reliability, and built-in security to protect users from evolving cyber threats [1].
