On behalf of Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, I am formally requesting the scheduling of
30-minute work sessions, starting at 6:00 p.m., on the following dates:
• April 21, 2025
• July 21, 2025
• October 20, 2025

These sessions will replace our quarterly updates to the City Council. We believe this format allows
for greater depth and context in our discussions, allowing for a more interactive and productive
dialogue between the City Council and Greater Dubuque Development in important economic
development initiatives.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We value the City's partnership and look forward
to continuing our collaborative efforts to strengthen Dubuque's position as a community of choice
for business and residents.
In your service,
low
Rick Dickinson
President & CEO
YOU can be great here.
