Terrebonne Parish businesses eligible:

Apply for Rural Entrepreneurship Initiative through May 31

The Louisiana Growth Network, a program from Louisiana Economic Development, is accepting applications for its Rural Entrepreneurship Initiative through May 31, 2025.

The program supports second-stage businesses in rural areas - that's companies with 5-99 employees and $1 million to $50 million in sales; companies in any part of Terrebonne Parish are eligible for this program. Delivered in partnership with the Edward Lowe Foundation, the initiative is designed to address issues common to all small businesses such as capitalizing on new opportunities, expanding a team and marketing digitally. The program includes a virtual retreat, access to specialized research and three monthly peer-to-peer roundtables.
