Louisiana Infrastructure Technical Assistance Corporation (LITACorp)

Supporting Local Communities.
Driving Federal Investments.

The Louisiana Infrastructure Technical Assistance Corporation (LITACorp) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the economic prosperity of Louisiana communities. LITACorp is a collaborative partnership between the Louisiana Municipal Association and the Police Jury Association of Louisiana to assist local governments with accessing federal grants through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to construct, improve, and repair public infrastructure in rural and economically distressed communities.

Are we ready? That’s the question every local leader should be asking. Are we ready to welcome new businesses and the workforce they bring? Are we ready to deliver clean, reliable drinking water? Are our roads, bridges, and infrastructure ready to safely move residents to work and back home? If the answer is no—or even not yet—it’s time to act. LITACorp is here to help you prepare your community for growth and opportunity. Let’s get ready, together.
— Leslie Durham, Executive Director
