RISE grant application approved
The RISE program was established to promote economic development in Iowa through construction or improvement of roads and streets. Iowa cities and counties are eligible for funding in the form of a grant, loan, or combination thereof. Projects must involve construction or improvement of a public roadway. There are two RISE project types: 1) Immediate Opportunity, and 2) Local Development. More information is available at: www.iowadot.gov/systems_planning/rise.htm.
Jefferson County and Fairfield: Up to $245,496 from the county share and $230,846 from the city share of the RISE fund was approved for a Local Development grant to assist in paving of approximately 2,680 feet of 227th Street and a right-turn lane on Highway 1 located on the south side of Fairfield. This project is necessary to provide improved access to more than 40 acres for industrial purposes. This project is anticipated to be completed by October 2017.
