The technical assistance and incubator services will serve various industries including manufacturing, professional services, technology, agriculture, environment, and construction.

SMALL BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM
ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION
Overview
The Small Business Loan Program is a lending program to assist disaster-impacted small businesses with non-construction expenses. The purpose of this program is to aid in the recovery of small businesses located in eligible areas that were affected by Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Ida, and/or the May 2021 Severe Storms.
The state will provide program assistance to eligible businesses and/or non-profit organizations through participating non-profit lenders, who will implement and administer a lending program to assist impacted businesses and non-profits. The state will enter into sub-recipient agreements with implementing partners including local community development organizations such as non-profits, community development financial institutions, local credit unions, and other eligible organizations.
