The Northwest Louisiana Finance Authority (NWLFA) is a local public trust authorized under Louisiana law to foster growth through community and economic development. While there are numerous public and private entities dedicated to providing funding to worthy organizations, NWLFA has a unique and focused authorized mission. We work with local governments to leverage limited local resources to attract significant private investment. Through the use of a variety of financing tools, NWLFA can provide developers and private companies with economic development financing aimed at filling the gap that often exists on large community and economic development projects. Additionally, NWLFA provides economic development incentives aimed at attracting new industries to the region.
Whether it's filling the financing gap or providing custom tailored incentives, the main objective of NWLFA is to ensure a strong return on investment (ROI) for our community. We measure the community's ROI by the increase in high paying jobs, access to quality workforce housing and home ownership, capital investment, expansion of high-growth industries and the introduction of new quality of life amenities.
