DATE: August 13, 2025
Economic Development Director Jill Connors is recommending City Council approval a
resolution authorizing Contract 25-CTBF-06 by and between the City of Dubuque, Iowa,
and the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) for the rehabilitation of 1701
Central Avenue.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority Community Catalyst Building Remediation
Grant Program assists communities with the redevelopment or rehabilitation of buildings
to stimulate economic growth or reinvestment in the community. For The IEDA
program, the City must be the applicant and provide financial and/or in -kind resources.
Adam Vogel Building, LLC (the Developer) is the current building owner of 1701 Central
Avenue. 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.
The rehabilitation of 1701 Central Avenue improvements include updating all
mechanicals to meet code and capacity, removing asbestos in the flooring and walls,
roof and masonry repairs, restoration of the historic fagade as outlined by the State
Historic Preservation Office, rehabilitation of four uninhabitable residential rental units,
creation of a new fifth residential rental unit on the ground floor at the rear of the
structure, restoration of commercial space on the first floor, installation of a security
system and outside lighting.
In addition to the IEDA grant, the project would be eligible for City incentives (a
rehabilitation grant at $35,000 maximum, and the housing creation grant at $50,000
Page 485 of 579
maximum) which staff anticipate bringing to City Council for review in September as part
of a development agreement.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
