INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council review and approval a resolution
authorizing Contract 23-CTBF-012 by and between the City of Dubuque, lowa, and the
lowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) for the rehabilitation of 1398 White
Street.
BACKGROUND
The IEDA Community Catalyst Building Remediation Program assists communities with
the redevelopment or rehabilitation of buildings to stimulate economic growth or
reinvestment in the community. Funding of the grant is based on annual availability.
One commercial building per community is eligible for the project application.
For The IEDA program, the City must be the applicant and provide financial and/or in-
kind resources.
DISCUSSION
Nia Neighborhoods Opportunity Zone Fund, LLC (the Developer), led by Ms. Yindra
Dixon, is the building owner of 1398 White Street. The Developer intends to redevelop
the property and approached City staff expressing interest in applying for the IEDA
Community Catalyst Building remediation Grant Program. To assist the project, City
staff applied for the program, as well as drafting a development agreement committing
City incentives.
The City has been informed that the project has been selected for a $100,000 award
from IEDA. In order to receive the funds to pass through to the project by reimbursing
eligible costs, the City must enter into a contract with IEDA, which is attached to this
memorandum.
The rehabilitation of 1398 White Street will utilize smart growth principles to return the
fa�ade to its original character. Additional improvements include updating all
mechanicals to meet code and capacity, removing asbestos in the flooring and walls,
remediating water damage, roof and masonry repairs, remodeling residential areas,
installing a secure building access system, and outside lighting. An African American
barber will operate in the first-floor commercial space, with a new residential unit on the
first floor, and two affordable residential units on the second floor.
The project will symbolize progress in the community with new business and residential
units becoming available along major thoroughfares in Dubuque. This project aligns with
housing and economic development priorities, will serve as a third space for community
residents, and provides opportunities for entrepreneurs of color. The commercial space
will provide jobs for up to four cosmetologists with an earning potential of two to four
times the median average income in Dubuque of $30,243. The newly rehabilitated
residential units will provide diverse housing options in the neighborhood while not
pricing current residents out of the neighborhood.
In addition to the IEDA grant, the project is eligible for and recommended for City
incentives in another agenda item including a fa�ade grant at $10,000 maximum, the
planning & design grant at $10,000 maximum, the financial consultant grant at $15,000
maximum, and the housing creation grant at $20,000 maximum.
The agreement includes a requirement to comply with the City of Dubuque Housing
Rehabilitation Standards and to accept, or cause to be accepted, applications from
prospective tenants with housing choice vouchers or similar programs that are
otherwise qualified prospective tenants.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing Contract
23-CTBF-012 by and between the City of Dubuque, lowa, and the lowa Economic
Development Authority for the rehabilitation of 1398 White Street. The proposed project
would advance the City Council goals Robust Local Economy: Diverse Businesses and
Jobs with Economic Prosperity, Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe, and Livable
Neighborhoods and Housing: Great Place to Live.
