A little over eight months since the fire, and our apartment rehab above our office at 315 E Main is nearing completion!

🎉 Big news for Jefferson Street🎉

We're officially launching Jefferson Street Ignited!
For the past three years, the 'Ignited' program has invested $175,000 and brought 39 projects to life in Ottumwa neighborhoods. Now we're bringing that same energy to Jefferson Street.
If you own property on Jefferson Street between East Fourth Street and East Pennsylvania Avenue, you could receive up to $5,000 for exterior home improvements. All it takes is a $250 contribution or 10 volunteer hours with a participating nonprofit to access funds.
Funding is limited, so don't wait long to apply!
