Business Incentives
The City of Spring Grove and it's Economic Development Authority is committed to helping new, relocating, or expanding businesses in the area.

We can assist you in looking for building space or a location. We also can aid your effort to find funding support. Small business loans are available through the local Jennings Bank or through the Minnesota Small Business Program, and SBA. Additional gap financing is available from the Spring Grove EDA, which also works closely with the City Council when TIF or Tax Abatement is needed.

Business Assistance is available through Job Opportunity Building Zones (JOBZ). This is is a new and exciting tool to stimulate business activity in Greater Minnesota. Eligible businesses in a zone will operate in an environment nearly free of state and local taxes. These tax incentives will help new and expanding companies lower their overall costs and facilitate their growth.

To qualify for JOBZ tax exemptions, a business must start-up in the zone, relocate from outside the zone or expand. Companies relocating from another Minnesota site qualify by increasing employment by 20 percent within the first year or making capital investment of at least 10 percent of gross revenues. In addition, businesses must also meet local business assistance goals to qualify for tax exemptions.
