Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
I am requesting that the City Council establish a Conservation District at the former Dubuque
Brewing and Malting property at 30th and Jackson Streets. I have included a map of the
Conservation District.
These buildings are among the most significant structures on the north end of Dubuque. They are
worthy of the City Council's review and protection.
These historic buildings are in danger of demolition. I ask that the City Council act as quickly as
possible to protect these buildings.
Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me at 557-7010 if you have any questions or
would like to discuss this proposal.
