Project Plan & Timeline The development of Dubuque's Warehouse District, officially referred to as the Historic Millworking District, into an urban, mixed-use area where individuals can live, work, and play in a sustainable way has been fast-tracked to keep up with the successes Dubuque has experienced as a result of its aggressive visioning during the Envision 2010 process. The creation of new residential spaces; establishment of entrepreneurial businesses, shops, and restaurants; and development of outdoor recreational opportunities are key to the continued economic development of the region. The Millworking District Master Plan identifies three phases for the development of over one million square feet of under and unutilized historic buildings and the public spaces surrounding them. The execution of this Plan will define the District as a creative, innovative, and sustainable place that propels Dubuque ahead of its regional competitors, thereby assuring its health and vitality for generations to come. The embodied energy of its historic buildings will fuel Dubuque's 21st-Century economy and will be.the foundation for the vibrant mixed-use neighborhood that offers convenient access to urban amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities. The Plan includes three phases: Phase 1: Central Area. A mixed-use central District will come to life, recruiting new residents, businesses, and anchor non-profits. Anew plaza will become the District's year round gathering place. Phase 2: South Area. Redevelopment of the next "ring" of buildings into offices and residential units will infuse the District with a lively daytime and nighttime population. 7th Street will be a critical pedestrian connection between the District, Downtown, and the Port. Phase 3: North Area. The neighborhood edge of the District will be developed to create gateways to the Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. The District will then be an entertainment destination in itself, and will also be a convenient place to live and work. Each phase will require the commitment of the City and private building owners. Antiquated public infrastructure, including streets, sidewallcs, and utilities will be replaced. The City will partner with building owners to secure funding to create a variety of housing options and attract businesses, non-profits, restaurants, and shops to the District. Dubuque's Downtown Design Guidelines will be followed to stimulate the restoration and rehabilitation of structures and all other elements contributing to the character and fabric of the District. The incorporation of engaging open spaces, public art elements, and pedestrian and public transportation oriented design will create a more inviting streetscape and heighten the District's unique sense of place. The City, along with its partners, are also committed to creating this District as a model of sustainability. Dubuque's Sustainability Vision Statement states that we will be a "viable, livable, and equitable community. We embrace economic prosperity, social/cultural vibrancy and environmental integrity to create a sustainable legacy for generations to come." The National Trust for Historic Preservation, who will establish one of three national Preservation Green Labs in the District the other two in Seattle and Portland-will be a key partner in ensuring that District development incorporates sustainability best practices. The City will also continue its established partnerships with other local, state, regional, and national partners Dubuque Historic Millworking District - 3 including ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, Climate Communities, and the American Institute of Architects to achieve its sustainability goals. The Historic Millworking District blends the best concepts of historic preservation and storytelling with the best principles of sustainability. A target date for completion of Phase I was driven forward when IBM identified the District as one of the reasons they chose to locate in Dubuque, bringing with them at least 1,300 employees earning living wages and searching for a cool urban space to live. The City issued a Request for Proposals for Millwork District Street, Utility, and Streetscape Improvement Design in May 2009. $1,090,750 is budgeted to complete street and streetscape improvements in the Central Area, with the design phase completed by January 2010 and construction of these improvements completed in the next year. This includes repaving streets, replacing water and sewer lines, designing the streetscape, and installing streetscape elements. A variety of businesses are already located in the District, with additional residential and commercial development currently in progress. The completion of the public improvements is necessary in order for private developers to complete their work and attract new residents, businesses, and events to the District. Implementation of the remainder of the Master Plan is anticipated to quickly move forward as necessary funding is secured. Dubuque Historic Millworking District - 4 Section 2. Narrative 1. The Historic Millworking District Streetscape and Public Space Improvements project helps to further the Seven Dimensions of a Great Place. Unique Sense of Place The Historic Millworking District is a core component of Dubuque's rich downtown history and was once the largest producer of millwork in the country. The 28- building complex is~tlie only intact major industrial cluster in Dubuque. The space around the buildings feeds off of the character of the buildings and includes unique streets comprised of abandoned rail lines and brick pavers, and catwalks and tunnels that connected the warehouses. Creating a creative, sustainable neighborhood requires not only the renovation of the interior and exterior of the buildings, but must include the public space around them. The addition of public art and bike racks designed by local artists and cool gathering spaces for public events will draw residents, businesspeople, and visitors to the District to create a vibrant 24 hour a day place. The components of the streetscape will also unify the space and to connect the Millworking District to the Port, Downtown, and Washington Neighborhood, all part of the Great Place that Dubuque is. Engaging Experiences The redevelopment of the Millworking District is the vision of the entire Dubuque community that was actively engaged in the Envision 2010 process. We see the potential to create a gathering space where individuals from a variety of backgrounds and cultures can come together to live, work and play. Creative pedestrian-friendly designs will draw people from their vehicles to interact with each other on the street. A higher quality of streetscape and public space design will ensure that the District is accessible to all individuals, furthering the opportunity for engaging experiences. Interactive signage will carry the history of millworking forward to today's residents and visitors. Rich, Diverse Social Fabric Dubuque is a growing community, and the Millworking District is the hub for native Dubuquers, those new to the community, and tourists to come together to experience a unique place and unique interactions. Installing creative, educational, and inclusive architecture in public spaces will create a more inviting enviromnent, interpret the activity that occurred in the District and the culture it created, and increase residents and visitors' sense of connection with the place. It will increase awareness of Dubuque's history, community, and cultural heritage and create opportunities for interaction. Vital, Creative Economy Businesses with historical ties to the District still call several of the historic warehouses home. New entrepreneurial businesses, man creatin Y g green jobs, have begun locating in the District. Incorporating educational signage and creative public art into the streetscape improvements is imperative to attracting non-profit organizations, artists, restaurants, and stores to the area. Pleasing Environment Pedestrian-friendly design is the key to drawing people to the Millworking District and pulling them from inside vehicles and buildings to experience the truly unique characteristics of the place as a living, changing place rich with history. Where possible, this project will use street rights-of--way as places to make functional items spirited and artistic. Dubuque Historic Millworking District-5 Educational signage will tell the story of the historic buildings that surround a visitor to the District and men and women who worked in them, and public art incorporated into the streetscape will tell the new story of the neighborhood and where it is headed in the future. This "complete package" of urban design creates a unified space and will establish a sense of continuity among the variety of properties as you travel through the District. Strong Foundation. Wide paved streets, railroad tracks through the middle of a main artery, and utilities that have served the District since many of the buildings were built provide a foundation for improvements to and additions. High quality streetscape design, public art, and interpretive signage will help people appreciate and understand the buildings and infrastructure that make the Millwork District the Great Place it is. Creative Culture. The Millworking District' is the perfect place to advance a Creative Culture. Artists, young professionals, and creative entrepreneurs are craving a space to live, work, and play in, and Dubuque is creating a space that will attract these individuals to Iowa. The expansion of a creative space beyond the confines of a building to include the public streetscape and gathering places will create a unique environment that foster creativity in the arts and economic development. It will build upon the image Dubuque has created for itself as a urban Midwest hub for sustalnability, culture, entertainment, and cutting edge economic projects. 2. The Historic Millworking District Streetscape and Public Art project meets the needs of the Place and promotes Iowa to residents and visitors. The inclusiveness of the Historic Millworking District is what makes this project such a great one. It is a place meant to include and involve everyone. A variety of housing options and employment opportunities will attract young professionals, retired individuals, people who have called Dubuque home their entire lives, and newcomers who are drawn to this energetic and inspiring community. Public spaces that accent the District's historic resources will be venues for large and small events that attract diverse crowds to the area. A variety of stores, restaurants, bike trails, and art exhibits will invite all residents and visitors to Dubuque to interact with the Millworking District. While specific events and private activities may have costs associated with them, the value in creating public art and educational opportunities is that they can be enjoyed by everyone with no costs or fees. The project benefits the entire Dubuque community. It is envisioned as a connector between the Downtown, Port, and neighboring residential neighborhoods. The incorporation of high quality and pedestrian-friendly design will attract visitors not only from the tri-state region, but from the country, to Dubuque. The development of a historic, artistic space will continue to attract a creative working class to the area, building upon the economic development successes of Dubuque's public-private partnerships. The sustainable nature of the District provides additional benefits to not only Dubuque's residents and businesses, but is part of our mission to protect our planet. The conscious and Dubuque Historic Millworking District - 6 context-specific design of the pedestrian environment encourages public and alternative transportation, reducing the emissions and carbon footprint of those who live in, work in, and visit the District. The rich history and attention to public art also help to achieve the social and cultural vibrancy goals which are equally important to the environmental and economic goals identified in the city's Sustainability Plan. Ensuring that public spaces are accessible to all visitors is a specific goal identified in the Master Plan. Attention will be paid to widening sidewalks and creating accessible intersections. This will be especially important as we consider how to preserve the District's historic characteristics, such as the railroad tracks that run down the middle of a main road, while considering the needs of all visitors. Interpretive signage will also be designed so that it is approachable and accessible for all visitors. _ The Millworking District is one of many reasons Dubuque has garnered recognition as, among other awards, an Iowa Great Place, All-America City, the 2008 Most Livable Small City in the country, and one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People in 2007 and 2008, and the 2009 EDA Excellence in Economic Development Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation-led Strategies. Organizations around the country are recognizing Dubuque as a great place to live, visit, and do business. The partnerships established in the District will create housing options to meet . a variety of consumer desires. Businesses like IBM will consider locating in Dubuque because of the high quality of life created for their employees in the District. The creation of multiple cool spaces and events will draw visitors to Dubuque no matter what they are looking for in a getaway, and encourage them to come back to Iowa soon for a new and exciting experience. 3. The ten Envision 2010 projects that were included in Dubuque' original Great Places application continue to make progress, with several nearing or reaching their completion. The Historic Millworking District Streetscape and Public Space project, as part of the larger Millworking District Master Plan, was identified as a high priority for the following reasons: The District's continued development is imperative to continued economic development, housing, entertainment, and overall growth plans in Dubuque. Unique housing and business opportunities will be created in the District, and it will attract developers and business owners to the larger Dubuque community. As a result of the strong partnerships between local government officials, private building and business owners, non-profits, and state and national partners, the project is well underway. The timeline for completion of all three phases is a moving target, but continues to be pushed forward. The District embodies many of the other initiatives underway in Dubuque, including Sustainable Dubuque, the city's Comprehensive Plan, and the Downtown Design Guidelines, and continues to be one of the top priorities identified by the citizens of Dubuque and elected leadership. Dubuque Historic Millworking District - 7 A variety of funding sources-including city and private building owner investments, state and federal grant funding and tax incentives, and private foundation and non-profit investment- confum that this project has the support needed to continue on its fast track to completion. 4. The City and its partners have a strong history of managing and maintaining infrastructure improvements. The Historic Millworking District infrastructure has stood the test of time, and with significant attention will continue to be enjoyed by all for years to come. The City Council has identified the District as one of its Top Priorities, a decision that dedicates both funding and staff time. The City of Dubuque Engineering, Planning, Public Works, and Water departments will all be part of a comprehensive long-term strategy to maintain and improve the public infrastructure of the District. The City also has a strong Arts & Culture initiative, led by the Arts & Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission, Dubuque County Historical Society, Historic Preservation Commission, and many well-organized and passionate artists and art-focused non-profits throughout the community. These individuals have created events such as the Voices of the Warehouse District art show, and are committed.to working with City Planning and Engineering staff and private building owners to incorporate great design into public spaces. The final key to the success of the Millworking District will be the marketing of the revitalization. The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce and Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque led the community visioning process that identified the District as one of the community's top ten projects and are committed to getting the word out about the District's exciting developments and opportunities. Target audiences include but are not limited to individuals from Iowa and surrounding states looking for an urban destination for their next personal or business trip, young professionals looking for a location that offers them both the amenities of an urban city and the character of a small Midwest town, and individuals from across the country interested in relocating to or experiencing a truly sustainable, historic, and culturally vibrant lifestyle.

National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 3 Great Rivers Center Section 1: Project Summary -Great Rivers Center This project will build the Great Rivers Center, a dynamic attraction that will double the size and impact of the award-winning Museum & Aquarium. The new Great Rivers Center will be created in an existing duplex building which is adjacent to the Riverwalk and the Museum & Aquarium. The funds from Great Places and the rr}atch will be spent o_y in the northern portion of the duplex (the former Iowa Welcome Center building) which is owned by the Museum & Aquarium. Other, non Great Places funds will be expended in the southern portion of the building (the former Diamond Jo Portside building) which is leased to the Museum fora 99 year period. The Great Rivers Center will open May 31, 2010. This funding from Great Places will enable us to build 1) the Gift Shop and entry, 2) the Research Center, 3) the walkway exhibit and overlook to the RiverWAYS exhibit, 4) the access to the RiverWORKS exhibit and the entry area for the 3D/4D theater, 5) the technical systems room and water control room, 6) the basement, and 7) the elevator and observation tower. The Great Places grant will also help us earn the $1 million Kresge Challenge grant. Without this Great Places grant, we may lose this $1 million challenge grant The site for the Great Rivers Center offers an intriguing view of the river, the Ice Harbor, the working waterfront, the US Coast Guard Cutter Wyaconda, and Newt Marine dry dock which lifts towboats and barges out of the water for repairs. Shovel ready: This project has been completely planned and designed and is shovel ready. Bids for this work are being received on July 2, 2009 and work will begin immediately thereafter. The bid documents call for the substantial completion of the renovation by February, 2010. The existing offices, kitchen, and escalator will be removed. Several floors and walls will be removed. The electrical wiring, lighting, sprinkler system, heating, air conditioning and humidity system will be replaced. Plumbing will be installed. Immediately upon the remodeling of the building, we will install the Gift Shop, Research Center area, and the access to the world class exhibits which will be built inside. 1. The Gift Shop is an important entry point for the Great Rivers Center, providing access, a sense of arrival, and an opportunity for guests to purchase books, DVDs, and other materials to enhance their visit. It also provides significant income for the Museum which supports ongoing operational costs. The Museum's current gift shop has gross income of over $500,000 annually, and this shop is expected to equal that amount with all proceeds used to support the non-profit mission of the Museum. The Gift Shop and associated offices and support spaces measure 4,000 square feet. 2. The Research Center will provide a place for scholars, researchers and the general public to examine the rich resources of the Museum and extend their knowledge. It also provides a safe place to house these important records. The research collection includes over 6,000 books, 20,000 historic images, and thousands of archives, records and documents. This Research Center occupies 2,000 square feet on the second floor and 4,000 square feet of the third floor of the Museum-owned building. National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 4 Great Rivers Center 3. Walkway exhibit and RiverWAYS overlook. A portion of the second floor of the Museum- ownedbuilding will be used as a walkway with exhibits on one side and an overlook onto the RiverWAYS exhibit along the over side. This offers a unique view of this compelling exhibit about the history of America's rivers. 4. Access to RiverWORKS and Theater. This same walkway will provide access to the RiverWORKS exhibit which is a hands-on children's museum about water which will be on the east side of the building closer to the Mississippi River. It will also provide access to the 3D/4D theater which is on the west side of the building nearest to the existing Museum & Aquarium. 5. Technical Systems Room. A portion of the second floor will be used for the audiovisual technical systems control room and the water features control room. These rooms will control over $1 million of audiovisual exhibits which will be part of the exhibits: The room will also control the hands on water interactives such as the Make Your Own Boat exhibit, the Waterwheel exhibit, the historic Waterfall exhibit, and the River Wise River Wall exhibit. 6. Basement. The lower level of the Museum-owned building will be used for building support and for general storage. This measures 4,000 square feet. 7. Elevator and Observation Tower. This project will also renovate the elevator cab and make improvements to the observatory tower which stands atop the building. These also are part of the museum-owned building. Great Places Project Cost: The total costs for the construction remodeling to the Museum- owned building is $2,027,520, of which $250,000 is Great Places funds with $1,777,520 in matching funds. This is a 700% match, far greater than the 40% match required, including construction, architectural, engineering, geothermal, and other vertical infrastructure costs. Exhibits in the south portion of the building which are part of the total $63 million project: With other funds, the Museum will create three permanent exhibits in the southern portion of the building and create the RiverMax Theater. A. RiverWAYS is the first permanent exhibit: The rivers of America have played, and continue to play, a vital role in the history and natural life of the United States. The RiverWAYS gallery is a permanent installation which includes a waterfall scene, a recreation of a trading scene of voyageurs and Native Americans, the cave stories environment, the Quest exhibits, the Canal Theater, the American Identities exhibit and the Big Map projection screen. The sounds of a cascading waterfall and the flicker of lighting effects give a special feeling to gallery space. Exhibits will describe people and events like Lewis and Clark, and the early structures of the Erie Canal. State-of--the-art audiovisual technology tells the stories of rivers, industrial technology, and dramatic events. Set within this immersive gallery, a formal theater experience called The Big Map provides a stirring, "rivers to shining sea" across the diverse and watery interior of the United States, transforming the self-guided gallery into an engaging theater experience. Canal Theater: Historically, canals connected not only waterways but economies and cultures. The Erie Canal, connecting the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, brought together diverse peoples and economic systems and made Buffalo one of the most prosperous cities in the United States. It also made New York the busiest port in America with tonnages greater than Boston, National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 5 Great Rivers Center Baltimore and New Orleans combined. The Erie Canal unlocked an enormous series of social and economic changes and spurred a great westward movement of American settlers and an explosion of waterborne commerce. A flood of canals were soon built across the country, making watery connections between people, towns and landscapes. American Identities: Visitors explore the consistent role that rivers and waterways have in defining the American consciousness. Here we recount the story of George Washington's crossing of the Delaware, the lure of Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon, and the distinctly different river-city cultures of New Orleans, St. Louis, Dubuque, Louisville and others. In Lewiston, Maine, there were great mills with people of French ancestry from Quebec and Atlantic Canada giving the city a unique identity. B. Rivers to the Sea is the second permanent gallery. It explores the link between rivers and life on this planet and traces the impact of rivers on our land and our ocean. Exhibits heighten the visitors' appreciation of the Earth's precious and irreplaceable water resources. Visitors learn about threats to healthy ecosystems and become acquainted with the ideas of conservation and stewardship. Special lighting and rich back lit graphics lend a theatrical effect, complementing some of the more spectacular 3-D elements. "Dive deeper" stations allow visitors to interact with lab discovery moments, in which visitors might view a fossil of an ancient aquatic species or other artifacts. Components of this exhibit are: Our Blue Planet & River Wall: A beautiful, globe and water wall serves as a visual reminder to the visitor that three-quarters of our planet is covered by water. What's My Watershed Address? Visitors can enter their zip code into a computer and find the river closest to their hometown and the watershed into which it flows. Healthy Rivers Lab: Through graphics and interactive laboratory stations, visitors investigate river basics, such as the parts of a river: the headwaters, riparian zones, wetlands, and currents. River Courses: Here visitors can take everything they have learned so far and put into context of the big picture-their rivers flow from the mountains to the oceans, collecting and carrying the remnants of upstream activity along the way. Coastal aquariums -three cylinders present the animals and habitat of three distinct places, the sea grass beds of the Florida coast, the coral reef of the Gulf of Mexico, and the octopus habitat of the rocky coasts of the Pacific Northwest. The Gulf of Mexico aquarium will be a 34,000 gallon tank featuring bonnet head and nurse sharks, rays, look down fish, and other fish of the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River has enormous impact on the Gulf, including the Dead Zone. The river pours 200 million gallons of water into the Gulf of Mexico every minute. The Ocean Today kiosk: In partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Smithsonian Institution, the exhibit will present this research kiosk in an effort to help increase the ocean literacy of the general public. Visitors can explore topics like the Mississippi to the Gulf, the Great Lakes, and the Chesapeake, Hitmcanes, Recent Discoveries, and Ocean Life programs. National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 6 Great Rivers Center C. RiverWORKS is the third permanent gallery, a splash zone with hands-on, fun, water-based activities. This children's "museum within a museum" is a collage of visually exciting elements, beginning with a fanciful and fantasy-inspired waterwheel. Rivers are Energy allows children and their families to make their own boats and put them into a 32 foot flowing river. Along the river, ten interactives allow visitors to squeeze the wetland sponge, pull the aquifer column up, close the dams, and other ways to explore the river. Rivers are Water: A visitor can jump onto a bike and put the water cycle into motion. As the person peddles, small, rising buckets simulate evaporation and carry water into the "sky." Hidden up in the clouds is a dump bucket when it reaches full capacity, the bucket empties and the "rain" falls down. Rivers are Life: Exhibits illustrate that animals, plants, and people need rivers to live with a crawl through beaver lodge. Visitors can catch a glimpse of a river ecosystem through images of species that depend on rivers. D. The 3D/4D Theater will bring educational excitement to the screen. The RiverMax Theater will be the first large format digital theater in the region. As the audience enjoys the show, they are taken on an educational journey revealing the wonder of biological diversity, the interconnected lives of underwater creatures, and the history of America's rivers. This digital theater will use the latest technology in large format film, and it will be equipped for 3D films and 4D environmental experiences such as wind and mist. This is not an IMAX theater, but rather a 134-seat educational theater showing digital films and live presentations. E. Other. This portion of the project will also contain the ticket desk, rest rooms, and food service areas. Who are the Various Partners? The City of Dubuque is providing parking, public infrastructure, and green space at a cost of $29;520,000. Dubuque County is providing $500,000 of support plus $228,000 in renovation costs to the Old Jail. The State of Iowa is a major partner, with an $8 million Vision Iowa grant, and grant support from HRDP, REAP State Historic Site Preservation grant programs, Iowa DOT, and Iowa Department of Gtiiltural Affairs. The Museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution and the Ocean Today kiosk is being created in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Other federal partners include 13 federal agencies, with direct funding support from the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, and National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. Private giving is being secured from across the state of Iowa and across the country. Support is coming from The McKnight Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Cargill, and others. National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 7 Great Rivers Center The Museum has partnerships with several museum and learning collaborations including the 22- member Coastal America Learning Centers which are the largest aquariums in the country. The Museum & Aquarium has developed partnerships with the newly formed Flood Center of the University ofIowa-IIHR Hydroscience and Engineering, Iowa Space Grant Consortium, and Iowa Math and Science Education Partnership. The Flood Center has asked the Museum to serve as their informal education partner, bringing university research to the public. Iowa Space Grant Consortium is providing funding to acquire NASA imagery-these stunning satellite images can show the plume of the Mississippi River as it flows around the Florida peninsula, truly showing the interconnection of rivers and ocean. The Museum & Aquarium partners with 35 river-focused organizations for the 1 Mississippi communications campaign. This partnership performed opinion surveys and extensive research to craft messaging. This research will be utilized to create accessible and engaging exhibit text.

Unique Sense of Place -The Great Rivers Center will help define Iowa as a Great Place to live and learn to over 250,000 guests each year. Exhibits will be world class, designed and built by the most talented professionals in the country. Exhibits will tell the importance of water in our lives and in the future of our planet. There is no center such as this dedicated to the study of the Mississippi and the Rivers of America. The Museum has already played a key part in Dubuque's rebirth and is now leveraging over $200 million in additional investment at the Port of Dubuque. 65% of people say they do not know how to begin protecting the environment; they can begin at the Great Rivers Center and adopt a sense of awe, responsibility and stewardship for rivers. b. Enga iging Experience -The Museum is already an engaging experience, voted Iowa Tourism Attraction of the Year for 2004 and the 7~' most popular aquarium in the nation by Expedia Trip Advisor in 2008. This project will double the size, scope and impact of the Museum with exhibits that engage people, transform them, and provide a place where they can come back again and again. Exhibits and films will create a rich and moving tapestry of the history of our rivers, and their role today in our country. c. Rich, Diverse Social Fabric -The Center will be a place to gather, convene and engage in family learning, social interaction. and cultural connection. The Center will bring scientists and students from around the nation to study the Mississippi. Heritage tourism will increase, bringing targeted populations to the banks of the river. The diversity of our audience will be twice the existing diversity of Dubuque and Iowa, providing different perspectives to our growing city and state. d. Vital, Creative Economy -The Center will offer creative employment opportunities including aquarium keepers, educators, film technicians, development officers, and marketing personnel as well as entry level jobs. Total Museum employment will increase by as much as 26 full time equivalents. An estimated 50 additional jobs will be created in the community. IBM's decision to locate 1,300 jobs in Dubuque in 2009 was due in part to the excellence and creativity of the Museum and the planned Great Rivers Center. The Center's offerings will appeal to singles, scholars, students and families, creating a welcoming and exciting venue for entertainment as well as learning opportunities. It will create opportunities for new festivals and family nights such as special showings of popular films like March of the Penguins. e. Pleasing Environment -The Museum is referred to as the Crown Jewel of the America's River Project. The Great Rivers Center will shine as the next jewel in the crown, continuing to bring the Mississippi River to the attention of local and out of town visitors as a national treasure to be restored and protected. The pleasing allure of the Waterfall, the River Wall, the Canal Theater and the 3D/4D theater will stimulate and please. f. Strong Foundation -The Museum opened in 2003 as part of a $188 million waterfront reclamation project that involved the entire City of Dubuque. The new center will be immediately adjacent to the Museum, located next to Highways 151, 61, 20, and 52. It will be fully ADA compliant. This Center was the leading project for the Envision Dubuque 2010 set of National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 9 Great Rivers Center ten projects and has enormous community support. The expansion will be built on the Museum's strong foundation which has educated over 1.2 million visitors in its first six years. ;~. Creative Culture -The Museum and the Great Rivers Center expansion are creative culture at its best. We inspire students to become excited about science ("When I told my brother about your new lizard exhibit, I thought he was going to explode." - 6~' grade student). Staff is enthused about their work and exhibit their creativity in programs, planning, and new exhibits. Important new research on history as well as animal breeding will be used in exhibits and educational programming. The Center will be a major force in the creative culture which will engage current and future residents of Dubuque and Iowa. How this Project Meets the Needs of the Place and Better Promote Iowa to Residents and Visitors: A. Who will use this project? The Great Rivers Center and RiverMax Theater will be used by 250,000 people annually from Iowa, from all 50 states, and from 70 countries. Families with children, visitors to Dubuque, and school groups from Iowa and the tri-state area are the centerpiece of visitation. 'There are over 2.9 million people within a 90-minute drive from Dubuque. Over 18,000 school children will visit the Center each year, coming from as far as Des Moines and Chicago. Scholars and student groups will visit to augment their own educational programs. Special needs groups will come to be engaged in stimulating learning experiences. Science and history groups from across the Midwest will come to the Center for conferences and programs. We already serve over 50 evening events a year. The Center will also provide unique evening entertainment and education with evening presentations in its 3D/4D theater. B. Is there a cost to those who attend/use? Based on the Museum's economic study and price analysis, admission fees (in 2008 dollars) will be: Adults $12.50, Senior Citizens $11.50, Youth 7-17 $9.50; Children 3-6 $7.50. This is for a two day visit. The Museum is raising $100,000 to endow a program where all residents in economic need can attend without charge. These charges will be less than the full cost to maintain the Center and additional support will be provided by gift and food sales, memberships and contributions. C. Who does the project benefit? This project benefits all of Iowa and the residents of the ten states of the Mississippi River. It raises awareness of the Mississippi on a global scale and provides strong educational, cultural, and environmental programming for the states of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In addition the City of Dubuque and the State of Iowa will benefit through a strengthened economic base and expanded Museum employment, and by millions of dollars of incremental economic impact brought in by visitors from out of region. D. How does the project address accessibility needs for all potential visitors? The Center will be totally ADA compliant, giving full accessibility to those who experience physical challenges. Plans include audio wands, a large elevator, Braille signage, and aids to the hearing impaired. The plans will be assessed by Proudly Accessible Dubuque, a voluntary compliance program. It will also provide economic access through the endowment to support free admission for those in need. National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 10 Great Rivers Center E. How does this project help meet the needs of Iowa's residents and improve visitors' experiences? This project will give Iowans a premiere educational resource that will reconnect them with the rivers that border our state. This world class center provides Iowans with the kind of experience that normally would require a trip to Des Moines, Chicago, Minneapolis, or St. Louis. As water resources experience greater pressures, it is crucial that the public understands the functioning of the water ecosystems. The exhibits of the Great River Center will be engaging and entertaining as well as educational, improving quality of life offerings for residents, while giving visitors the opportunity for family fun. Great Place Project Consensus: This project is shovel-ready and contracts will be signed in July, with completion in May, 2010. It will create 45 jobs during construction and 76 jobs annually once it is operational. It has overwhelming support from all segments of Dubuque. It has been endorsed in writing and with permission to use photographs by Governor Culver, Senator Harkin, Senator Grassley, and Congressman Braley. It has also captured the attention and interest of Vice President Joe Biden, Senator John Kerry, NOAA Director of Education Louisa Koch, and program officers at the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The educational outreach aspects of this project are being developed in partnership with the National Audubon Society, The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Urilimited, Bluff Lands Alliance and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is one of the top ten projects of Envision Dubuque 2010. The project is leveraging millions of dollars from outside of Iowa. It has been recognized by several national partners including NOAH, EPA, Smithsonian, and Coastal America, winning an award of excellence from the Office of the White House This Great Places grant can be a critical factor in securing the $1 million Kresge Challenge Grant. This award is highly significant-the Kresge Foundation has only awarded two grants of this size in the state of Iowa. If we cannot raise the remaining amount, the entire $1 million grant is forfeit. The challenge is to raise $4 million by June 30, 2010 to win the $1 million Kresge Challenge. Since March, we have raised $1.1 million towards this goal. We are hopeful that we can raise the final $2.9 million and $250,000 from Iowa Great Places will have a major impact in reaching this grant and in inspiring others to support this challenge campaign. Project Maintenance and Management We have completed a sustainability study by ConsultEcon of Cambridge Massachusetts. This includes analysis of the market and market trends, a pro forma operating budget, and detailed analysis of pricing and visitation. Part of this study was the analysis of IMAX versus digital theater. This study concluded that the 3 D/4D theater in our population size would be significantly more sustainable than the IMAX theater. The study also analyzed the option of two separate museums versus one larger museum, with the overwhelming evidence pointing towards one larger museum campus. The Museum updated this study with a second analysis. In addition the Museum is increasing its endowment by $5 million to support this new center, adding to its existing endowment of $4 million. These funds are being invested in the museum's endowment and also the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, one of the key partners for National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium 11 Great Rivers Center the Great Rivers Center. These funds must be maintained as principal, and 5%, or $250,000 annually, will support the Great Rivers Center. The Museum staff has experience and professional education which supports managing a facility of this size. Two of the staff have master's degrees in museum management. The Executive Director, COO, Husbandry Curator, History Curator, Marketing Director, Education Director and Development Director all have relevant experience and training. The Museum is investing in its middle and entry level staff as well, increasing the number of staff, and improving their training and cross training. The Great Rivers Center is being built based on an energy study which identified $300,000 in energy saving investments. This investment will provide an 8% payback, saving over $32,000 in energy costs each year. Finally, the City of Dubuque has committed as a backstop to insure that the Museum and Great Rivers Center will be maintained and operational for twenty years.

The Honorable Tom Harkin, U.S. Senator, Iowa It's a place for children and adults alike to explore, interact, and discover the rich history and importance of the river to our country. The Honorable Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator, Iowa There will be nothing like this anywhere in the world. The Honorable Bruce Braley, U.S. Representative, Iowa The National Mississippi River Museum c~ Aquarium has taken a leading role in teaching us about the fragile and complex relationship between living beings and their environment. Its work in association with the Smithsonian provides great benefit to all.

The City of Dubuque committed to funding half the project and approximately $3 million was raised privately through individual donations and grant awards. Construction began in December 2008 and will be completed in Apri12010. The active capital campaign ended with a shortfall of $125,000 necessitating a few cuts in the original design. An Iowa Great Places grant award will allow one feature cut from the project to be completed; adding windows to the building where none exist today. 2008Iowa Great Places Grant Application - -2 - .Section 1: Project Description & Timeline The renovation of the building is being completed over five phases as the Library remains open to serve the community during this time. The Library was most fortunate to receive an Iowa Great Places grant award in 2006. The award was dedicated to renovating Phase Two of the project -the glass floor mezzanine and historic stacks of the original Carnegie building -and this grant will be completed by June 25, 2009. The current grant request to add windows will take place during Phase Four which is November 4, 2009 -January 19, 2010 (timeline enclosed.) Phase One of the project focused on the entire third floor of the Library; Phase Two, the historic area that Iowa Great Places has fiuided; Phase Three will be the historic building on first floor; Phase Four the second floor 1981 building addition, and ~'hase Five the first floor 1981 building addition. Section 2: Narrative 1. How does this project help to fiu-ther each of the Seven Dimensions of a Great Place? The Carnegie-Stout Public Library is unique in so clearly promoting the seven dimensions of a Great Place. It offers a unique sense ofplace as the 107 year-old building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, continues to evolve to meet the informational, recreational, and educational needs of all who visit. The renovated facility will be a destination place and include five public areas with comfortable seating in spectacular settings flooded with natural light. It will offer engaging experiences through its meeting places for public discourse and hundreds of programs for alI ages which will all taking place in pleasing environment that is also a sustainable community building. The Library will apply for LEED Existing Building designation (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a green building rating system.) It will be the first existing library building in Iowa and the Midwest to achieve such distinction. At this point we are confident that we will earn LEED Credit 8.1 "Daylight to 50% of the interior spaces" and Credit 8.3 "Views for 45%. of the interior spaces." Funding of this grant proposal will provide for the addition of windows on the southeast side of the building which we believe will get us to the 75% daylight threshold for Credit 8.2, currently listed as "maybe," thus strengthening our LEED application for a higher certification. -3- The Library exemplifies and celebrates the rich, and diverse social fabric of the community by offering services to all without discrimination. It also has a goal of one third of all programs incorporating amulti-cultural theme. The Library contributes to a vital, creative economy through its efforts to assist job seekers by offering classes in computer use as well as online resources in preparing for job interviews and writing resumes which are supplemented by books and newspapers. The Library is a destination in downtown Dubuque directly contributing to economic development. Libraries are "the cornerstone of democracy"; a philosophy held by the staff and Board of Trustees guaranteeing a strong foundation for the community. The Library stands for intellectual freedom, equal access to all materials for all people, the presentation of all points of view in material and vigorously defends access to this material. The Library celebrates and promotes all arts from literature and music to painting and sculpture and through diverse multi-cultural programs, art receptions, membership in the Dubuque Cultural Alliance and through active promotion each October of Arts and Humanities month. It is proud of it contributions to the creative culture of Dubuque. 2. How does this project meet the needs of the Place and better promote Iowa to residents and visitors? Seventy percent of the population of Dubuque are Library card holders but use is not limited to the City nor just to registered borrowers. The Carnegie-Stout Public Library serves many people in Dubuque County through a reciprocal borrowing program. The State Library of Iowa facilitates a reciprocal borrowing program that Carnegie-Stout participates in which opens its collection to the users of over 600 libraries statewide. There is no cost to the user who takes advantage of this service whether he or she lives in Des Moines and checks out a book in Dubuque or whether someone locally borrows material. (This statement should be qualified to point out that about 93 percent of the Carnegie-Stout Public Library's budget is funded through appropriation of local tax dollars.) Out of state residents may attend and use the library; however a nominal fee is charged if they wish to check materials out. The completion of this project will benefit all visitors but will have the most direct and positive impact on those who are regularly able to take advantage of the facility and services -the population of Dubuque. The Carnegie-Stout Public Library is accredited by the State Library of Iowa and is 100 percent compliant in addressing accessibility. As renovation moves forward we have worked closely with city officials and representatives in the community to ensure the facility is accessible to the disabled. This includes access for those who are hearing -4- impaired (through Relay Iowa) and the availability of people who are fluent in sign language, upon request, for programs. The mission of the Carnegie-Stout Public Library is to improve the quality of life by providing resources that enhance and contribute to individual enjoyment, enlightenment, and knowledge. The renovated facility will significantly contribute to our ability to meet this mission. 4. Please describe how this project will be maintained and managed over the next 20 or more years. The renovation of the Carnegie-Stout Public Library is expected to meet the needs of the community for the next 25 years. It will continue, as has been the practice for 107 years, to be managed and maintained by a policy snaking Board of Trustees empowered by Iowa Code and local ordinance. The Board employs a Library Director who is manages the facility on a day-to-day basis in keeping with the approved budget, policies, and long- range plan. A referendum to support the Library with tax dollars was passed in 1900 and this continues. The City of Dubuque supports the Library financially by annual approval of the Library's operating budget as well as commitment to ongoing capital improvements through a separate budget which identifies long-term facility needs over a ten-year period of time. -5- Section 3: Project Budget Summary for this grant request (detailed budget attached) - to add windows to the southeast wall of the building mate o Great Places Funds Match Total Contractor Materials As matched by the overall project from and Fees to add $16,678.37 private donations and windows to the SE $6,799,818.00 wall of the building city contributions Summary of overall renovation costs (details of expenses attached) Cate o Great Places Funds Income 3,000 -match $250,000 to be expended by 6-25-09 Cash received to date $1,971,000 Pledges over the next 3 years $1,535,818 Total $3,043,00( $ 250,000 $1,9_ $1,535,818 X6,799,818. -6- . ~~~~~ ~~ca~ cuNr.~~~.icrto>r r.en.:r www.triconca.com Corporate Office 2245 Kerper Blvd Suite 2 Dubuque, IA 52001 P 563.588.9516 F 563.588.9519 902 17th Ave Monroe, WI 53566 P 608.325.4889 June 11, 2009 Rick Golus Durrant Architect 700 Locust St. Suite 942 Dubuque, IA 52001 16776 O'Brien Rd Project: Carnegie Stout Public Library Minooka, IL 60447 Re: Chan e Order Re uest No. 11- PR No. 1-11 P 815.521.9120 g Q F 815.467.2327 At Technical Services 233 east exterior wall, provide masonry demolition and infill as noted TF 866.588.9516 in attached drawing A702.
