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.
Jasper County: Up to $285,212 from the county share of the RISE Fund was approved for a Local Development grant to assist in paving of approximately 150 feet of South 128th Avenue East located southwest of Lynnville. This project is necessary to provide improved access totaling more than four acres for industrial purposes. This project is anticipated to be completed by October 2025.
