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 https://iowadot.gov/systems_planning/Grant-Programs/Revitalize-Iowas-Sound-Economy-RISE-Program.
Pleasant Hill: Up to $2,543,640 from the city share of the RISE Fund was approved for a modified Local Development grant to assist in the construction of approximately 1,520 feet of NE 75th Street and 2,740 feet of new roadway located on the northeast side of town. This project is necessary to provide improved access to the Pleasant Hill Commerce Park, an Iowa Economic Development Authority certified site of more than 213 acres. This project is anticipated to be completed by October 2024.
