Dear Mike,
I am writing on behalf of Greater Dubuque Development to formally request the conversion of our
quarterly updates to the City Council into 25-minute work sessions. We believe this format will
provide greater depth and context for discussion, allowing for a more interactive and productive
dialogue between the City Council and Greater Dubuque Development on important economic
development initiatives.
We would like to propose that the first of these work sessions take place on October 21, 2024, with
future sessions to be scheduled at a later date.This approach will ensure that we continue to keep
the Council informed while creating opportunities for deeper engagement on key issues.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We look forward to continuing our collaborative
efforts to enhance Dubuque's standing as a community of choice for businesses and residents.
In your service,
