Louisiana Loggers Eligibility

There is a presumption that an eligible Louisiana small business has been and still is adversely impacted resulting from the initial and ongoing local government public health and safety orders, and particularly those emergency proclamations from Governor John Bel Edwards pertaining to COVID-19 and the Phase I, II, and III public health initiatives.

​

Your small business must meet all of the following eligibility requirements in order to apply for Louisiana Loggers. 

​

If your business has already received assistance from other government programs, you can still be eligible for this grant program. Assistance previously received from other sources will be deducted from any potential grant award. 

​

Grants for this program will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. All grants will be issued by December 31, 2022.
