About InterTech Park
Initiated in 1997 by community leaders to provide specialized facilities with laboratory, cleanroom, manufacturing and office space for high tech companies, the InterTech Park has grown to include eleven properties with 400,000 square feet and over 21 tenants. The purpose was to create an environment and space that would attract creative companies to Shreveport and retain home-grown talent.
