Louisiana Information Infrastructure Center
(LIINC)
http://www.prodapp.doa.state.la.us/infra/
The Office of Community Development developed and maintains
the Louisiana Infrastructure Information Center (LIINC).
The LIINC is a database which provides interested parties a
means of sharing information relative to the public funding of
local infrastructure projects to hundreds of local governments.
All infrastructure applications submitted to the participating
agencies are included in the database. These records
include information regarding the applicant, amount of funding,
source of funds, type of infrastructure, and status of the
application. This database is a consolidated effort if the
DOA’s Office of Community Development, the DOA’s Office of
Facility Planning and Control, The Department of Health and
Hospitals, the Governor’s Office of Rural Development, the
Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Economic
Development, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The
database also aids in the decision-making process for the
participating agencies and provides users with a “one-stop shop”
for infrastructure funds.
