Jerseyville Approves TIF Funds For Nana's Hometown Sweets & Eats
JERSEYVILLE – A local business planning to open at 221 S. State Street in Jerseyville will get a boost in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds to complete concrete work at the site. On Tuesday, members of the Jerseyville City Council unanimously approved a large facade commercial grant application submitted by Nana’s Hometown Sweets & Eats Owner Josh Chappell. Building & Zoning Director Jeff Soer said the scope of the work includes converting the gravel portion of the site’s parking lot into concrete. Not only will this ensure consistency between drive-up areas, but also compliance with city regulations against gravel parking lots. Soer said 50% of the total project cost is eligible for TIF funds. With an estimated cost of $48,800, the city has agreed to reimburse up to $24,400 in TIF-eligible project costs. The concrete work at Nana’s Hometown Sweets & Eats is expected to be completed sometime in May of 2025, weather and other conditions permitting. In
