SUBJECT: Approving a Contract with Dubuque Main Street Providing Funds for its
SWAP Grant Program
DATE: October 16, 2025
Economic Development Director Jill Connors is recommending City Council approval of
the attached contract committing $60,000 to Dubuque Main Street for the continuation
of its SWAP Grant Program. For several years implementation of the Central Avenue
redevelopment plan has been a City Council priority.
Dubuque Main Street has a grant program (SWAP Grant) that provides matching funds
to storefront redevelopment projects, up to $10,000 per project, covering costs
associated with interior remodels or renovations. The initial funding came from County
ARPA funds that were awarded to Dubuque Main Street in 2022. To date, the program
has supported 13 projects; with $130,000 leveraging over $1,200,000 of other private
and public funds, the program is having a 10:1 impact on these projects. In the final
2025 round, Dubuque Main Street received 12 applications for the remaining funds,
demonstrating a significant need and desire for these funds by the private sector.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Approving a Contract with Dubuque Main Street Providing Funds for its
SWAP Grant Program
DATE: October 14, 2025
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests approval to utilize funds previously approved for downtown
redevelopment purposes to provide funding for Dubuque Main Street's Downtown SWAP
Grant program including administrative costs.
BACKGROUND
As part of the FY25 budget, City Council approved Capital Improvement Project
5559900002-305-64075 (Incremental Development and Small Business Storefront
Establishment Coaching in the amount of $150,000). The purpose was to support
downtown storefront redevelopment in order to promote the success of small businesses,
building owners, and the vitality of our downtown.
DISCUSSION
The City has already contracted with Neighborhood Evolution for $12,000 to provide group
and one-on-one coaching to individuals interested in small-scale development. This leaves
a substantial balance in the fund for related work.
Dubuque Main Street has a grant program (SWAP Grant) that provides matching funds to
storefront redevelopment projects, up to $10,000 per project, covering costs associated
with interior remodels or renovations. The initial funding came from County ARPA funds
that were awarded to Dubuque Main Street in 2022. To date, the program has supported
13 projects; with $130,000 leveraging over $1,200,000 of other private and public funds,
the program is having a 10:1 impact on these projects. In the final 2025 round, Dubuque
Page 790 of 817
Main Street received 12 applications for the remaining funds, demonstrating a significant
need and desire for these funds by the private sector.
This is the type of program that our office would propose to undertake. To avoid duplication
of services, I propose that we provide funding to Dubuque Main Street to continue its SWAP
Grant program, which has recently depleted its program funds — only able to fund 3 of the
recent 12 applications. I believe funding for 5 projects ($50,000) and a 20% administrative
fee ($10,000) is appropriate at this time, to be reevaluated at a future date to consider
additional funding.
To align with the City Council's 2025-2027 High Priority of "Continued Implementation of
Central Avenue Revitalization Plan," we will require Dubuque Main Street to award
additional points to projects along the Central Avenue Corridor when scoring applications.
BUDGET IMPACT
No budget impact, as funds have already been allocated for this purpose, with an adequate
balance in the fund to support this request.
RECOMMENDATION
respectfully request approval of the attached contract committing $60,000 to Dubuque
Main Street for the continuation of its SWAP Grant Program. This aligns with several of
the City Council's Goals (1. Financially Responsible, High -Performance City Organization:
Sustainable and Effective Service Delivery; 2. Robust Local Economy: Diverse Businesses
and Jobs with Economic Prosperity; and 3. Livable Neighborhoods and Housing: Great
Place to Live).
