Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco plans to ask the state legislature to grant the $50 million Bossier City officials believe they need to entice the Air Force to locate its new Cyber Command in Louisiana, reports the Shreveport Times. The money would go toward development of an Innovation Business Park near Barksdale AFB, La. The Bossier folks already have another $50 million lined up.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
