The Industrial
Development Authority of the City of Marceline, Missouri announced they would be
providing a 50/50 matching grant program to Marceline businesses to make
improvements again this year. Darrell Gardner Executive Director of the IDA
announced the grant would be eligible to all commercial businesses in Marceline
and all commercial building owners. Gardner said the total grant money available
for this Business Grant Program would be $10,000.00 in the 2021 grant cycle.
The IDA Business
Improvement Grant Program opened on February 1, 2021 and applications may be
made through April 2, 2021. The Guidelines / Application is available online
HERE. This document can be
saved, completed and printed at the applicant's convenience. Hard copies
are also available at City Hall or at the Downtown Marceline Office at 209 N.

The grant amount will
equal up to 50% of the cost of eligible improvements, up to a maximum of $1,000.
For example, if a total project cost is $1,200, MIDA’s reimbursed grant is $600
and the business will provide $600 of their funds. If a total project cost is
$2,200, MIDA's grant is $1,000 and the business will be responsible for $1,200.

consideration.
