The RISE program was established to promote economic development in Iowa through the 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 the 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.

Altoona: Up to $1,058,041 from the city share of the RISE Fund was approved for a Local Development grant to assist in the construction of approximately 1,680 feet of Ziegler Drive NW located on the northwest side of town. This project is necessary to provide access to four lots totaling more than 34 acres for light industrial purposes. This project is anticipated to be completed by December 2024.

Cedar Rapids: Up to $3,013,485 from the city share of the RISE Fund was approved for an Immediate Opportunity grant to assist in the construction of turn lanes and a roundabout on 6th Street SW located on the southwest side of town. This project is necessary to provide improved access to the proposed site of BAE Systems Inc., an international defense, aerospace, and security company, to support a commitment of the retention of 232 full-time jobs out of 650 RISE eligible retained jobs and $177,353,371 in associated capital investment.  This project is anticipated to be completed by October 2022.
