- Tax Increment Financing (TIF) - An incentive program which captures the increased property taxes a business pays from improving their property. This incentive can be used to help pay for needed infrastructure improvements or to provide grants to the business. Businesses must commit to job creation in the community or must have an extraordinary positive impact for the community to offer this incentive.
- Low Interest Loans - Loans for building improvements are available if a qualified project locates within certain areas of the City.
- Land Discount - The City provides a land discount for city-owned property if the business commits to significant job creation in the community.
- State of Iowa Programs - Programs like the Community Economic Betterment Account (CEBA), Enterprise Zone Benefits, Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE), and the Iowa Values Fund are available from the State of Iowa for qualifying projects.
