ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Administration
Overview
The Economic Development Department provides professional leadership in economic
development, downtown redevelopment, riverfront and industrial development. Economic
Development offers many different financial incentives to encourage property development/
improvement and job creation. Some of the programs include:
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF) -An incentive program which captures the increased
property taxes a business pays from improving their property. This incentive can be
used to help pay for needed infrastructure improvements or to provide grants to the
business. Businesses must commit to job creation in the community or must have an
extraordinary positive impact for the community to offer this incentive.
• Land Discounts - The sale of city -owned property to businesses that commit to
significant job creation in the community.
• Downtown Rehabilitation Program - This includes facade, design and financial
planning grants and loans. These incentives are available in the Greater Downtown
Urban Renewal Area, including the Washington Neighborhood, the Historic Millwork
District, and other areas.
• Downtown Housing Incentive - Funds the rehabilitation of vacant downtown buildings
into affordable, market rate rental housing.
• State of Iowa Programs - The department partners with the State of Iowa to provide
incentives for qualifying projects from the following: High Quality Jobs program,
Workforce Housing tax credits, Historic tax credits, and Community Development Block
Grant funds.
• EPA Brownfields Assistance - The department and its consultants provide funds to
alleviate real or perceived contamination on properties in order to promote economic
development.

Highlights of the Past Year
Grading of Certified Site
Dubuque was selected as a finalist community among four states by a company considering
expansion with approximately $350 million capital investment to construct a 350,000 square
foot facility that would employ approximately 450 people within five years with an estimated
payroll of $22 million. In order to strengthen Dubuque's Bid for selection and to remain viable
option site prep work was initiated on Dubuque industrial Center West newly formed State of
Iowa Certified Site.
The Launch True North Initiative - Greater Dubuque has rebranded Downtown
Transformation to Dubuque's True North. Activities include data collection, scientific polling,
staffing and rebuilding the True North Development Corporation (previously Washington
Neighborhood Community Development Corporation), involvement in the CHANGE program,
and North End gateway improvements. GDDC and City staff are collaborating on the initiative.
Flexsteel Industries, Inc. plans to invest approximately $25 million to construct a new
300,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Dubuque. The proposed project would relocate
an estimated 200 current positions from the existing facility at 3400 Jackson Street to the new
Flexsteel Manufacturing facility in the Dubuque Industrial Center South. The project is
expected to be completed by March 2019
The Economic Development Department assisted in the facilitation of the purchase of the
Malting & Brewing Building (300 Jackson Street). The developer has secured the structure
to make it safe for construction and started design drawings to turn the building into 110+
apartments with a healthy food grocer among other retail on the main floors. Construction is
slated to start in the Spring of 2019 and phasing the project to completion over the next 2
years.
The City of Dubuque, as a member of the East Central Intergovernmental Association
Brownfields Coalition submitted a grant application to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency for the Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grant. The Coalition was awarded
$800,000 to help assist with brownfields clean-up throughout the region. The funding requires
that it can only be used on sites in jurisdictions that are part of ECIA's Brownfields Coalition.
The funding will be available to both government entities and developers. The Coalition seeks
to revitalize distressed neighborhoods, create jobs, and improve quality of life in eastern Iowa.
This work builds on successful brownfields activities funded with EPA Assessment grants to
both ECIA and the City of Dubuque.
An emphasis in the community has been the rehabilitation of former school buildings into rental
residential facilities in the downtown area. The Economic Development department provided a
letter of commitment to assist in the rehabilitation of Marquette Hall formerly known as Sacred
-88-
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Heart School in Dubuque's North end community at 2222 Queen Street into a total of 28
affordable rental residential units.
The Consulting firm RDG was engaged to provide the services outlined within the RFP of
creating an opportunity to reimagine the circulation and urban fabric of the Central Avenue
Corridor between 11th Street and 22nd Street in the Washington Neighborhood. While there
have been significant efforts focused on revitalizing the corridor to date, the success of the
corridor's future will be defined by the citizens that live, work and play within the neighborhood.
The consultant's strategy to complete the master plan will be collaborative focused and
visionary concepts and imagery. The Washington Neighborhood is growing at about a 9% rate
annually. The Southwest Arterial is progressing quickly and expected to be complete in late
2019. Upon completion, nearly 600 semi -trucks will be removed from the corridor, creating an
opportunity to re -imagine the Corridor.
The Federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 established a new economic tax incentive called
Opportunity Zones. Opportunity Zones use tax incentives to draw long-term patient
investment to census tracks struggling with low-income households and sluggish business
growth. The program targets neighborhood revitalization and towns in need of investment. The
payoff for investors is avoided capital gains tax. As a tax incentive, the Opportunity Zones
program is designed to encourage long-term, private investments in low-income census tracts
In Iowa, 25 percent of the state's low-income communities census tracts where eligible to be
nominated to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for Opportunity Zone designation. The Iowa
Economic Development Authority accepted the applications from eligible Iowa applicants
interested in being nominated to secure this designation. Once designated, the tracts will be in
place for 10 years. With a history of attracting market-based investment and the demonstrated
capacity to implement big projects, Opportunity Zone designation for two contiguous census
tracts (1, 5) was approved by the state and U.S Treasury.
Future Initiatives
The Economic Development Department anticipates making application to the EPA
Multipurpose Grant. This grant opportunity will provide funding to conduct a range of eligible
assessment and cleanup activities at one or more Brownfield sites in a target area. These
multi-purpose grants (assessment and cleanup combination) are available up to $1,000,000.
The Target area will be the Dubuque's South Ports redevelopment area.
Additionally, a coalition of local partners including NICC, Opportunity Dubuque, Iowa Workforce
Development, and Dubuque Area Labor Management are working on the development and
submission of a U.S. EPA Environmental Workforce Development Job Training Grant. A
critical part of the EPA's EWDJT program is to further environmental justice by ensuring that
residents living in communities historically affected by economic disinvestment, health
-89-
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
disparities, and environmental contamination -- such as low-income, minority, and tribal
communities -- have an opportunity to reap the benefits of revitalization and environmental
cleanup. Through the link to on -the -ground assessment and cleanup activities, Environmental
Workforce Development and Job Training Grants train unemployed and under -employed
residents of communities impacted by a variety of waste facilities, blighted properties,
contaminated sites, and other environmental issues for environmental jobs that contractors
may otherwise fill from outside the affected community.
Tax Increment Financing continues to be an important tool. The City of Dubuque has provided
$60,116,715 in Tax increment Financing or Bond incentives for businesses since 1990. This
has leveraged $592,378,336 in private investment by these businesses. With the use of TIF,
businesses in Dubuque have retained and created 8,574 jobs. 84 projects have benefited from
the use of Tax Increment Financing.

and job creation.
Economic Development staff currently monitor approximately 90 development agreements to
ensure the developers/employers meet the requirements within the agreements, which include
required minimum physical improvements, timing of improvements, and job creation. Staff also
monitor and prepare Tax Increment Financing rebates as outlined in the agreements. The
Economic Development Department continuously seeks additional funds from public and
private sources to provide access to several programs which can be tapped to encourage
business growth in Dubuque.
