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.
“For a lot of local officials, trying to navigate federal grants and match requirements feels like LSU lining up on the one-yard line with no blockers — all heart, no help. Rural communities aren’t losing because they lack drive; they’re losing because the field is stacked against them. LITACorp is here to change that. We step in like the blocking you’ve been missing, clearing the path so you can push forward and finally punch that ball into the end zone. With the right support, every rural town in Louisiana can score.”
