| *Action items |
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 online.
Bondurant: Up to $695,775 from the city share of the RISE Fund was approved for a modified Local Development grant to assist in additional roadway improvements at U.S. 65 and Campus Drive. This amendment is necessary to provide improved access to the Myers Industrial certified site, an Iowa Economic Development Authority certified site of more than 66 acres. This project is anticipated to be completed by November 2025.
