 Below is some information we gathered on the Louisiana Main Street Recovery Fund for small businesses suffering the impacts of COVID-19. 

 Act 311 directed $300 million of the CARES Act funds to the Louisiana Main Street Recovery Fund to provide economic support to eligible Louisiana businesses for costs incurred in connection with COVID-19. 

 The program will be administered through the Office of the State Treasurer.
