GREATER DUBUQUE DEVELOPMENT: Rick Dickinson, President and CEO, acknowledged area officials, community partners and staff achievements from the past year. Rick then reviewed the past year's work in the six pillars of Greater Dubuque Development—Business Retention and Expansion,Workforce Solutions, National Marketing, Sustainable Innovations, StartUp Dubuque, and Dubuque's True North. Newly added in 2017, Dubuque's True North is an initiative to revitalize the North End neighborhoods. Driven by the Dubuque's True North Corporation board of directors and staffed by Ed Raber, Director of Dubuque's True North,the initiative will purchase up to 50 slum and blight rental properties, rehabilitate, and resell them as affordable single-family homes.The initiative will also address commercial and industrial property, offering attractive options for new businesses to grow in the community.While the Greater Dubuque area has experienced successes lil<e Medline Industries'announced expansion to a new 120,000-square-foot facility in the Dubuque Industrial Center West and the increased broadband connectivity through the expansive growth of the network capacity,there are national challenges to be faced. Workforce shortages have meant our labor force and population growth have been relatively flat over the last year. While the Greater Dubuque 2022 five-year campaign goals are still attainable,they will require adjusting our strategy and being creative in how we, as a community, recruit, create, and retain talent. 2018-2019 CHAIRPERSON COMMENTS: Tom Woodward, Greater Dubuque's 2018-2019 Chair, provided closing remarks and thanked Mike Donohue for his leadership as our 2017-2018 Chair. ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made and seconded to adjourn. Motion passed unanimously. � � � � Greater Dubuque DEVELOPMENT CORP. � OLLABORATE � � to Compete / � / A formidable competitor Greater Dubuque Development is in a global competition.We're competing for expanding businesses and for talent.

Moreover,we added more tools for partners to enhance their ability to � recruit talent and we welcomed the first participants in our Opportunity Dubuque �� Child Care pilot program.We also launched the"Big Life,Small City. You're Home in � - Dubuque"campaign,designed to increase both population and workforce,which is offto a solid start. We are currently at$449,087,009-56%of our goal—in commercial and residential construction. Notable commercial projects include Flexsteel Industries'new production facility;Medline Industries'new customer service center,and the Dupaco Community Credit Union's Voices Project in the Millwork District. II Within Sustainable Innovations,we made tremendous progress with the expansion of broadband in our market,thanks to the collaboration among Greater Dubuque Development,the City of Dubuque,and private sector providers. IDubuque's True North also realized solid progress with the acquisition of five properties to be renovated and with planning and redesign of the Central Avenue corridor. This progress is a reflection of Greater Dubuque Development's strong management team, our continued ability to leverage our outstanding public-private partnerships,and our highly engaged Board of Directors who continue to provide guidance and input on our strategic plan and,of course,their financial support. Our progress should be celebrated;however,management and the Board also recognizes there remains significant challenges before us,which need to be addressed,in order for our J community to grow in a positive and meaningful manner. IGiven the strength of our management team and our Board,who have a proven track record of successfully tackling difficult challenges that have transformed our community over the past several decades,I am confident we are well positioned to do even more. � Tom Woodward Chair,Greater Dubuque Development Corporation CEO&President,Woodward Communications,Inc.
