With help from rural loan program, Geneseo firm looks to expand


By The Kewanee Voice    June 28, 2023

The Geneseo-based “Underground Graphics” will soon move its vinyl signage, auto detailing, paint correction, and ceramic coating services to a new, larger, location at 750 Culver Court to better serve its customers. With the increased space, owners Jason and Cassie Dahl will be able to hire three additional employees. “Underground Graphics” has been serving the community since 2008. 

The Henry County Board and Central Bank Illinois are teaming up to facilitate the purchase and loan for the building, with the county recently approving a $58,075.00 loan from its Rural Revolving Loan Fund. 

The Henry County Rural Revolving Loan Fund Program (RRLF) has made 92 loans totaling $5.6 million, which have in return created and retained 1,176 jobs in the Henry County, Illinois workforce. 

The RRLF monies are available to any new or existing business within Henry County. For more information on the Henry County RRLF Program contact Jim Kelly, Henry County Economic Development Director and RRLF Loan Operator, at the Henry County Courthouse, (309) 937-3410
