BATON ROUGE, La. — The LSU Food Incubator has received a $20,500 grant from Louisiana Economic Development.

The state agency is providing the money for the purchase of commercial processing equipment to serve incubator tenants, says incubator director Gaye Sandoz.

The money will be used to buy a 150-gallon stainless steel tank and blender to increase production capabilities for the incubator's growing number of tenants in the food processing industry, she says.
