The program is open exclusively to Louisiana Cultural District liaisons or the Local Governing Authorities responsible for overseeing the district.
Louisiana Main Street Restoration Grants provide matching funds to encourage the revitalization of historic downtown commercial properties located in designated Louisiana Main Street districts. The Louisiana Main Street Restoration Grants serve as an effort to promote community revitalization and stimulate economic growth and vitality, in addition to enriching cultural tourism. Community reinvestment utilizing historic preservation practices improves community economic health by fostering renewed interest in shopping, working, and living downtown.
Grant funding and the number of grants awarded are dependent on state budgets and the amount of funding appropriated by the legislature each year.
