Caddo Parish leaders are getting closer to moving the Confederate monument from in front of the Caddo Parish Courthouse. Responses to the request for proposals are due by April first. The parish is expected to award a contract by the end of April and sign that contract by mid-May and then the work can begin to relocate the monument.
It s being moved to the Pleasant Hill Battlefield Site in the Mansfield area. That is privately owned property located on State Highway 175 in south DeSoto Parish. The Caddo Parish Commission voted to spend $500,000 to move the monument.
