Today Terrebonne Economic Development Foundation is launching the Bayou Business Grant Program. The program, in coordination with Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove and a $500,000 contribution from BHP, is aimed at getting money to businesses quickly and easily. The Bayou Business Grant Programs will be targeted grants of up to $10,000 to help Terrebonne Parish businesses with specific unmet needs from the federal and state programs available. 

TEDFo is also partnering with the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce and South Central Industrial Association to market and administer this program. This allows TEDFo to work closely with the business community in Terrebonne Parish to identify, assess, and solve business needs quickly as the economic situation evolves during this unprecedented event. 

Applications for the Bayou Business Grant Program will be online and available immediately. Applications will be taken starting today, Monday, April 13, 2020.

Interested businesses can go to TPEDA.org/bayoubusinessgrants to find out more and download the application. Additionally, staff is available through TEDA's business response hotline by calling (985) 633-1887 or by emailing bizresponse@tpeda.org.
