The Louisiana Business & Technology Center’s Mobile Classroom is set to get another year of funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a move that will make it easier for LSU’s business incubator to reach entrepreneurs across the state. The USDA signed a contract last week to give the program a $148,730 grant, says Charles D’Agostino, head of the LBTC. The mobile classroom, a specially outfitted trailer, is set to make visits to Donaldsonville and New Roads in the next few weeks. The mobile classroom was established after hurricanes Katrina and Rita as a way of offering workshops and seminars to small businesses in rural areas.
