On the G-Unit, mum is the word from G-Unit spokespersons who do not respond to any inquiries on Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his G-Unit Studios.
The Shreveport MPC approved a height variance and a site plan for the G-Dome in June.
To date, no construction permits have been issued for the G-Dome construction by the Shreveport Permit Department.
Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux stated on KSLA yesterday that additional work must be accomplished to prevent water intrusions into Millennium Studios aka G-Unit Studios.
The lease by the City to G-Unit is an “As Is” lease which seemingly relieves the city from any remedial work on the G-Unit site and leased buildings.
The mayor did NOT indicate it the City or G-Unit would bear the cost of any additional water intrusion labors.
A request has been made to city attorney Marcus Edwards regarding this issue.
