WORK SESSION Greater Dubuque Development Corporation Quarterly Update Greater Dubuque Development Corporation President and CEO Rick Dickinson presented a quar- terly update. In response to questions, he noted that some housing units reported as “in development” may not be constructed and emphasized that, together with population growth in Dubuque County, this underscores the continued need for additional housing. Regarding the Union at the Marina Apartment Project, Dickinson stated that the lot had remained vacant for 12 years, during which local developers had ample opportunity to acquire and develop the property. He recommended that the City continue to prioritize project timing - specifically, accelerating development processes while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.
