The program was announced on March 1, 2022, and the application period ended on

their taxes. Any projects less than $2000.00 in total cost will be matched at
50% of the cost. All projects must be completed by November 30, 2022.
“The IDA received seventeen applications for grant assistance from various
businesses within Marceline,” said Richard Switzer, Executive Director.
“The grant projects ranged from enhanced or new business services, interior
improvements, exterior appearance improvements, such as new signage or exterior
awnings."
Applications were scored on growing or enhancing business services, preserving
or beautifying buildings, competitive bids and location in the downtown business
district. Final scoring was completed to rank the grants, including the order of
submission.
