But I'm confident we will have one because we don't want to take it out of reserves."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/money/business/2014/08/16/minden-open-business/14173765/|title=Minden is 'open' for business|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''|author=Vickie Welborn|date=August 16, 2014|accessdate=November 16, 2014}}</ref>
