IOWA State Incentives

The Iowa Values Fund provides financial assistance to expanding businesses that are creating higher paying jobs with benefit packages in the state's targeted industry sectors: life sciences, information solutions, and advanced manufacturing.

The New Jobs and Income Program (NJIP) provides a package of tax credits and exemptions to businesses making a capital investment of at least $12.1 million and creating 50 or more jobs meeting wage and benefit targets within five years.

The Value-Added Agricultural Products and Processes Financial Assistance Program (VAAPFAP) aids in the development of new agri-products and new processing technologies by companies. Any single project may apply for up to $525,000 in assistance. Financial assistance is provided in the form of loans and forgivable loans. Generally, assistance of $20,000 or more is usually awarded as a combination of loans and forgivable loans, with the forgivable portion decreasing as the award size increases.

The Economic Development Set-Aside (EDSA) program provides financial assistance to companies that create new employment opportunities and/or retain existing jobs, and make new capital investment in Iowa. The amount of funding is based, in part, on the number of jobs to be created/retained, and is given in the form of loans and forgivable loans. The assistance is targeted toward business projects located in communities of less than 50,000 people. At least 51% of the created/retained employment opportunities must be made available to individuals presently earning wages defined as low or moderate income. The EDSA program can provide assistance up to $500,000.
