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.
“Rural communities are the backbone of Louisiana, and strategic infrastructure investment is what ensures they are competitive, connected, and prepared for future growth. Every dollar the State of Louisiana invested in LITACorp has helped generate approximately $4.30 in federal infrastructure funding—proof that thoughtful planning and strong partnerships deliver real returns for rural communities. These investments are not just about roads, broadband, water, or transportation; they are about creating opportunity, supporting local economies, improving quality of life, and ensuring rural Louisiana has the tools needed to thrive for generations to come. For many distressed communities, traditional loans are simply unattainable. LITACorp is leveraging the State’s investment to maximize federal grant funding opportunities and bring critical infrastructure dollars into the rural areas that need them most. That’s how everyone wins.”
