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.
Plymouth County: Up to $792,778 from the county share of the RISE Fund was approved for a Local Development grant to assist in paving of approximately 2,625 feet of 240th Street located south of Le Mars. This project is necessary to provide improved access to five acres for industrial purposes. This project is anticipated to be completed by December 2024.
