New Orleans, LA - Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry announced the U.S. Small Business Administration has granted his request for a Declaration of an Economic Injury Disaster for the State of Louisiana.

The Economic Injury Disaster Loan will end October 3, 2025.  

“Louisiana, especially New Orleans, thrives off local businesses unique to the area.
