The Louisiana Main Street Recovery Grant Program launched a new website this morning. The site features a quiz to help businesses determine if they’re eligible for funds, an FAQ, and a registration form to sign up for updates as the July 28 application opening approaches. The program issues grants of up to $15,000 to cover eligible business expenses, including costs related to meeting public health requirements and costs created by business interruption. The $275 million fund will be prioritized for businesses that have not accessed other federal aid in the program’s first 21 days, and no less than $40 million of the fund will be designated for access by minority, woman, and veteran owned businesses in its first 60 days. A help line has also been established for businesses needing assistance: 1-888-795-4947.
