SUBJECT: HRDP Grant Application for Heritage Trail Interpretive Signs
Attached is the HRDP Grant Application for Heritage Trail Interpretive Signs and a
resolution in support of the application.
The State Historical Society of Iowa has Historic Resource Development Program
(HRDP) grant funds available for the preservation and interpretation of Iowa's historic
and cultural resources. The City has received two HRDP grants in the past for creation
of ten interpretive signs.
The proposed project is the third phase in the development of interpretive signs for the
Heritage Trail. The project will result in three additional interpretive signs for Dubuque's
pearl button and ice harvesting industries, and the early settlement of the Riprow Valley.
As with the other interpretive signs, Planning Services staff will work with the Dubuque
County Historical Society and the Center for Local History to develop the text and
photographs to be used in each sign.
The City of Dubuque has included interpretive signs in the Vision Iowa project.
Administrative Services Manager Pauline Joyce has a budget of approximately $3,000
available for interpretive signs. Additional cash match of $2,000 can be provided by the
staff time devoted to researching and developing the text, administering the grant, and
coordinating with the Historical Society and the Center for Local History. The grant
request is for $6,000. The total project cost is estimated to be $11,500.
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the
Mayor to sign the application.
