Wright Island - it's an unusual situation

My home is in a subdivision, commonly called the Wright Island neighborhood, adjacent to Anderson Island and near Shreve City. It is a small area, 3 or 4 city blocks, including approximately 150 residential homes. The area is in an unusual situation:

It is located within the Shreveport city limits, and yet is part of Bossier Parish. (Evidently the Red River changed course many years ago, causing this strange divide.)

Can anyone tell me, would it be more advantageous to join with nearby neighborhoods (Anderson Island, Shreve Island and Broadmoor in the Shreve Centre Coalition) or would it be more beneficial for the subdivision to make a connection with a Bossier Parish homeowners group across the Red River?

I would appreciate information from anyone knowledgeable of this odd situation.

Honors - I don't know how we missed your post, maybe Wright Island went over my head since I thought your group was Anderson Island. Have you joined any coalition in Bossier?

No, I have not joined any coalition. Would it be more beneficial to join with a Bossier group?

You might start with the neighborhood in your section, which I assume will show you in Caddo...but maybe not. You are in a unique situation. In any case, it would not be a bad idea to check out both options.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
