Jasper County Facade Improvement Program

The Jasper County Facade Improvement Program provides matching funds to business owners within the downtown commercial areas in JEDCO member communities (Baxter, Colfax, Kellogg, Lynnville, Mingo, Monroe, Prairie City, and Sully) for facade improvements. The purpose of the Jasper County Facade Improvement Program is to support the revitalization of business districts in small towns by stimulating private investments that enhance the appearance of buildings and properties and encourage business expansion and creation.

Current Jasper County Economic Development Corporation (JEDCO) members who are in good standing are eligible to apply for funding. Applications must be submitted by a current JEDCO Board member.
