Local business receives L.L.B. grant

Optimum Business, the provider of advanced internet, mobile, TV, and phone services, and the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance recently announced the grant winners of the L.L.B Grants, which will directly fund 30 small businesses across five parishes in Southwest Louisiana.

Each small business will receive a $3,000 grant to help support their growth and long-term success while further expanding and contributing to the prosperity of the communities where they serve. Featured grant recipients include:

Blue Light Behavioral Services in DeQuincy: An applied behavior analysis clinic that provides therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder and looking to use the funds to purchase technology and materials needed to expand learning for children.

To celebrate the grant winners, Optimum Business and the SWLA Economic Development Alliance will host a recognition event this fall alongside local officials and key community partners in addition to highlighting these businesses through a series of stories and videos that will help to expand upon their ability to provide for their communities.
