Riverside Boat Pier Grant D~~~E ~<k~ MEMORANDUM August 15, 2006 TO: FROM: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members (~., Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Boating Infrastructure Grant Application for Riverside Boat Pier The Riverside Boat Pier Project involves construction of a transient boat dock facility on the main channel of the Mississippi River near the Alliant Energy Amphitheater. Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens recommends City Council approval to submit a draft Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant application to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and further recommends City Council approval of the revised project budget in the amount of $5,088,950, of which $1,088,950 would be the City of Dubuque's local match. The City has previously budgeted $875,000 in local match. The additional $213,950 in local match required will come from the balance in the CIP for Maintenance and Dredging of Harbor Areas, which has a $620,243 balance. The City does have dredging obligated under City leases to private entities, and these funds may need to be re-budgeted for that purpose in a future year. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. ~iJ f:,,/IIlL- Michael C. Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager i5UB~E ~ck~ MEMORANDUM August 15, 2006 TO: FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Boating Infrastructure Grant Application for Riverside Boat Pier Introduction This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, a draft Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant application for the Riverside Boat Pier. This project involves construction of a transient boat dock facility on the main channel of the Mississippi River near the Alliant Energy Amphitheater. A resolution also is enclosed. The Boating Infrastructure Grant Program is a federal program administered by the IDNR for transient boat facilities for non-trailerable boats greater than 26 feet in length. Discussion Working with IDNR staff over the past two months, City staff has learned that a draft Tier 2 grant application can be submitted to IDNR by September 1. IDNR staff will comment on how to modify the proposal so it scores higher. This is valuable help, since Tier 2 is a national competitive program in which grants may exceed $1 million. The City must submit a final Tier 2 grant proposal to U.S. Fish & Wildlife by October 31. Budget Impact Previously, the City Council approved the budget for this project with the following initial cost estimates based on the enclosed FY08 and FY09 CIP allocation: EXPENSES Design & Engineering Construction TOTAL PROJECT FINANCING Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant Local match -- City of Dubuque TOTAL $ 350,000 $3,150.000 $3,500,000 $2,625,000 $ 875.000 $3,500,000 Boating Infrastructure Grant Application for Riverside Boat Pier Page 2 Working with our consultants, the project budget has been updated as follows based on the enclosed budget: EXPENSES Design & Engineering Construction TOTAL PROJECT FINANCING Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant Local match - City of Dubuque TOTAL $ 610,674 $4.478.276 $5,088,950 $4,000,000 $1.088.950 $5,088,950 The difference in the local match from the City is $213,950. Budget Director Dawn Lang has noted that this cost difference can be covered by the balance in the CIP for Maintenance and Dredging of Harbor Areas ($620,243) since a portion of the project cost relates to dredging this area on the main channel. The City does have dredging obligations under City leases to private entities, and these funds may need to be re- budgeted for that purpose in a future year. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve the revised project budget for the Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant for the Riverside Boat Pier Project, and direct staff to submit the enclosed draft grant application for IDNR review by September 1, 2006.

The grant will provide tor the construction at 90 marina slips tor transient boats greater than 26 teet in adjacent to the America's River Project. The City at Dubuque has committed $1,088,950 at local tunds to match the requested $4,000,000 grant. The market teasibility study conducted tor the project indicates pent-up demand tor slips tor transient boaters that cannot be met by the area's existing private marinas. Project Location Map RIVERSIDE BOAT PIER PROJECT AT THE PORT OF DUBUQUE - A SHOWCASE PROJECT ON THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER - INTRODUCTION A unique opportunity exists with the Riverside Boat Pier Project (RBPP) in that it will be constructed adjacent to the "America's River Project". The America's River Project is a cooperative effort of the City of Dubuque, the Dubuque County Historical Society, the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, Dubuque County, the State of Iowa Vision Iowa Fund, and Platinum Hospitality Group. This public - private partnership has created a national campus of educational, environmental, recreational and historical activities that focuses on the Mississippi River. This initial partnership has expanded to include federal, regional, state and local partners - both public and private, from the tri-state area, from the five states that touch the Upper Mississippi River, and indeed from around the country. The America's River Project includes many exciting amenities for recreational boaters to enjoy. The Port of Dubuque includes: National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, Diamond Jo Casino, Spirit of Dubuque riverboat excursions, Ice Harbor Park, Mississippi Riverwalk Recreation Trail, American Trust River's Edge Plaza, Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark, and Alliant Energy Amphitheater. In adjacent downtown Dubuque, restaurants, bars, theaters, hotels, and historic districts are linked by a multi-modal transportation system for vehicles, trolleys, bicyclists, and pedestrians as well as the Heritage Trail, a 40-mile hike and bike system that winds through the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County. LOCATION Location is the greatest asset Dubuque has to offer with regard to the development of a transient marina. Dubuque's location on the Upper Mississippi River provides transient boaters with unique and significant opportunities otherwise lacking in the Upper Midwest. The City has open river frontage accessible to the public by water or land and immediately adjacent to cultural, commercial, historical and tourist amenities. As stated previously, the City of Dubuque in partnership with both governmental and private entities has completed extensive improvements to the Mississippi River frontage. This foresight in city planning has positioned the City of Dubuque to reap the benefits of the transient marina development. The transient marina developments will be a gateway to the America's River Project as well as the downtown business/commercial districts of Dubuque via walking/biking trails and vintage replica trolleys. The America's River Project encompasses the Port of Dubuque, a 90 acre tract of the city's riverfront that adjoins downtown Dubuque. In addition to the Mississippi River on the east, the Port of Dubuque is bordered by Dove Harbor on the north and Ice Harbor on the south. Dove Harbor is a working harbor, replete with barges, cranes and conveyors for loading and unloading barges of grain, coal, fertilizer, salt and asphalt. The Ice Harbor is the focus of recreation, education and terrestrial visitor access to the river. 2 APPlICATION FOR TIER 2 OF BOATING INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM Planning Services Department City of Dubuque, Iowa 50 Wesf 13th Street Dubuque, Iowa PHONE: (563) 589-4210 FAX: (563) 589-4221 Email: Icarsten@cityofdubuque.org PROJECT SUMMARY This Tier 2 Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIGP) funding request is for the implementation of portions of the RIVERSIDE BOAT PIER PROJECT, located on the Mississippi River at Dubuque, Iowa.

Dove Harbor is a working harbor, replete with barges, cranes and conveyors for loading and unloading barges of grain, coal. fertilizer, salt and asphalt. The Ice Harbor is the focus of recreation, education and terrestrial visitor access to the river. 2 ""'f Already a popular tourist destination, the $188 million America's River project at the Port ot Dubuque will enable the tri-state area to capitalize on the Mississippi River as a national tourist attraction. The project has been the catalyst tor a 50% increase in Dubuque's tourism in one year from 1 million visitors to 1.5 million annually. THE NEED The City of Dubuque, Iowa has long been a focal point on the Mississippi River for tourism and a destination recreational site. Dubuque is a major point of Mississippi River access for the visitor markets of Chicago and Milwaukee. 3 Dubuque's location on the Mississippi River, and the America's River Project, are a tremendous asset tor providing recreational, scenic, cultural and historical experiences tor transient boaters. A large volume ot pleasure croff plies the river channel just outside the gate ot Dubuque's historic Ice Harbor. Some ot the current river traffic consists ot local boaters and tishermen; however, many boats are trom throughout the region and as tor away as the Twin Cities and the Gult Coast. These boaters have tew options when seeking a dock site to access the communities current alfractions: the Diamond Jo Casino, Spirit ot Dubuque paddlewheel excursions, F.W. Woodward Riverboat Museum, the National Historic Landmark - Wm. M. Black Historic steamboat, the Mississippi Riverwalk, the Mississippi River National Education and Conterence Center, the Mississippi Rivertront Hotel and Indoor Waterpark and the Mississippi River Discovery Museum Center. The demand will only grow with completion ot the America's River Project's amenities and alfractions. Included in the tuture will be a public transit system incorporating vintage trolleys to provide access trom the River to downtown affractions. Total visitation tor the America's River Project is expected to exceed an additional 500,000 visitors annually. This is in addition to the annual one million tourists currently visiting Dubuque. Studies and Economic Analysis regarding tourism in the area have been pertormed by prestigious tacilities such as the Office ot Thomas Martin, Cambridge, Massachuseffs; CSL consultants trom Minneapolis, Minnesota and Patek Hospitality Consultants, Inc. The City ot Dubuque is toeing a tourism explosion. With any explosion ot this type there is an associated increase in user demands and need tor public tacilities. The City ot Dubuque has a vision to tully develop a transient marina that will become an economic engine tor the entire region. Currently, transient boaters have no opportunity in the area to access the wide variety ot experiences available along the Mississippi River. There are no slips available to accommodate the demand tor transient watercratt 26' and longer. The Riverside Boat Pier Project would allow Dubuque to remedy this deticiency and capture previously lost economic benetits generated by serving boating visitors trom several states. The proposed marina will provide the opportunity tor transient boaters who currently travel the Upper Mississippi River to experience tirst-hand the natural beauty, historical sites and cultural amenities ot the Dubuque area. At the present time there is no marina tor transient boats over 26' in length within 1.5 miles ot the America's River Project. The Riverside Boat Pier Project will allow transient boaters a very convenient stopping off point to access the world-class tacilities in the America's River Project as well as downtown Dubuque, Iowa. (Ice Harbor does provide short-term courtesy docks but no transient marina services.) Infrastructure Needs: The typical transient boater has unique needs, as opposed to the seasonal boater who lives in the community and maintains a local slip. Transient boaters are tourists that are typically on the river tor several weekends during the boating year and enjoy stopping in various ports to see and experience the communities along the Upper Mississippi River. Traveling on the Mississippi River has tremendous appeal because ot changing scenery, the unique River City heritage and the many cultural amenities. Additionally, like most travelers, the per diem spending tor a transient boater tends to be higher than tor a boater who is a local resident. The proposed Riverside Boat Pier Project expects to otter transient boaters: . Adequate mooring capacity . Slips tor boats larger than 26' 4 . Laundry facilities . Quality pump out and waste reception equipment . Navigafional aids limited specifically to direct entry for transient, non-trailerable tie-up facilifies . A dockside shower/bathhouse facility . Safe, high quality lighting, electrical and water hook-ups and safe walkways . A fixed breakwater . Mooring buoys . Adequate areas for boaters with mechanical problems to receive service . Deep water at a number of boat slips . ADA Accessibility The Riverside Boaf Pier Projecf with first-class facilities will flourish and will be a showcase project for the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program. The facilities will leverage the substantial public infrastructure that currently exists on the riverfront and will help encourage the economic and community development of the Dubuque region. Financial Needs: The City of Dubuque has identified riverfront development as a priority; however, Dubuque is not currently capturing retail sales and tax dollars to fund that need. Dubuque County has had basically no growth in retail sales in 24 years in constant dollars. Retail sales in 1980 were $991,000,000. Retail sales in 2004 were $993,000,000, inflation corrected. Clearly, Dubuque's shops, restaurants, hotels, etc. would benefit from more visitor expenditures. Unlike other locations on the upper Mississippi (LaCrosse, Davenport, Prairie du Chien, etc.), Dubuque must make improvements to cater to tourists/visitors that arrive vi a personal watercraft. Transient dockage could provide the necessary boost. Historical Perspective: Planning for America's River began in the early 1990's with national scholars and designers. Exfensive long range planning and numerous feasibility studies all pointed to a grand vision. The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, the Grand River Center, the Mississippi Riverwalk and Amenities, and the Grand Harbor Resort and Indoor Waterpark are creating a new national identity for Iowa. The 90-acre campus is becoming the place for peopie across the country and around the globe to leam about and experience the Mississippi River. This will be the only place on the entire 2,400- mile stretch at the Mississippi River that captures the historical, environmental, educational and recreational majesty at the Mississippi River. America's River is a national center with partnerships and support tram twelve federal agencies. America's River creates over 1,000 new jobs that pay a living wage. It puts the State on the map as an intemational destination by building on global treasure - the Mississippi River - and creates a magnet for a young and diverse population. At its heart, the America's River Project is all about Iowa and our traditional values of strong education and conservation for our preeminent natural resources. Existing Conditions: While short-term curtsey docks are present, there is no existing marina for transient boats over 26 ft. in length in the vicinity of America's River Project. However, access to the many amenities of 5 the America's River Project will be adjacent to the proposed facility, including restaurants and hotel rooms. The marina is proposed to have water, electrical hook ups, a restroom with showers, laundry facilities and a pump out for transient boater slips. Of course, the marina and all of the land- based improvements will meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Feasibility Study: In 2005, the Abonmarche Group, a consulting firm specializing in marina development, completed a market feasibility study for the Riverside Boaf Pier Projecf. The purpose of the study was to: . Determine if a market exists for improved marina facilities . Validate local assumptions and determine if the expenditure of financial resources will attract transient boaters. This statistical study indicates a theoretical potential demand for 800 slips in the primary and secondary Dubuque, Iowa market area. This coupled with the full occupancy and waiting list at some marinas, leads to the conclusion regarding an actual demand for approximately 200 transient slips for the primary market area for Dubuque, Iowa. The feasibility study found sufficient market demand and validates local expectations about the market for improved facilities. The following fable below shows fhaf improved marina facilifies should draw a significant number of fransient boafers from the surrounding Mississippi River States. Demand for a I" Class Dubuaue.

Transient boating on Lake Michigan is cost-prohibitive for many people. Comparable slip rates in the Chicago/Milwaukee area are 45 to 80% higher than in the marinas listed above. Transient slips in that area are almost non-existent due to the high cost ot waterfront property. Consequently, little choice is left tor transient boaters in the tri-State area of Northeast Iowa, Southwest Wisconsin and Northwest Illinois. The Upper Mississippi is the prime destination for transient boaters. In conducting the market analysis, Abonmarche Consultants was able to deveiop an idea of the overall local opinion of the Riverside Boat Pier Project. Through conversations with local marina operators and boaters it was determined that a generally positive perception exists. Very little opposition to the project was expressed. One comment was that a trolley system would be needed if the City was to implement this project. The trolley system which will serve the Riverside Boat Pier Project will be completed before the project is completed. Many iocals see the proposed project as a benefit to the city's livelihood and feel the project is necessary as a way to address the current lack of transient facilities. One marina operator suggested that many ot his/her customers have expressed a desire to boat to Dubuque and a willingness to pay for transient facilities. The Iowa Welcome Center in Dubuque receives between 20 and 30 requests each month in the summer for transient boat docks. Clearly there is a need for additional transient boat space in the Upper Mississippi River region. The need can be met with improved facilities via the Riverside Boat Pier Project. 8 BOATING MARKET ANALYSIS General Market Conditions: Table 2 shows information on fhe existing and proposed marinas on Pool 12 of the Mississippi River at Dubuque, Iowa. Discussions with marina operafors indicafe that the main boating season on the Mississippi River is short - typically starting in June and dropping dramatically atter the third week in August. All seasonal slips in Pool 12 of the Mississippi River are typically rented by July 1. Dubuque area marina operators also indicated that there is tremendous pent up demand for several hundred additional seasonal slips, of all sizes. Several recently constructed waterfront developments in the Dubuque area have created significant demand for transient boating facilities. All surveyed marina operators indicated that the 49 slips reserved for transient boats in Pool 12 of the Mississippi River are woefully inadequate to serve peak demand. Many boaters would like to cruise the quieter, warm waters of the Mississippi River and explore riverside communities, but are reluctant to do so knowing transient mooring is not available. Private marina operators will only accommodate transient boats when their seasonal slips are temporarily vacated. With the short boating season in Pool 12 of the Mississippi River, economics dictate that private marinas will not provide strictly transient slips. Recreational Use: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)performed a study entitled, "Economic Impacts of Recreation on the Upper Mississippi River System", to learn more about the value of recreational uses of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). The 1994 study found that an estimated 12 million daily visits by recreationalists took place during a single year in the area studied. The area 9 studied includes 76 counties along the commercialiy navigable portions at tive rivers: the Mississippi River (north at Cairo, Illinois), Illinois, St. Croix, Minnesota and Kaskaskia. at the 12 million daily visits during the study year, halt at ali visitors boated. Another study conducted in 1996 by the U.S.A.C.E. estimated that there were over 5.2 million daily visits annualiy to the Mississippi River Pools 11-22. at the 5.2 Million visitors 13% were boaters. This indicates approximately 676,000 boaters annualiy visit on Pools 11-22 at the Mississippi. Dubuque (Pools 11 & 12) is on the southern end at the tirst study (1994) and on the north end at the second (1996). Although the study did not breakdown the statistics to the county level we can estimate the number at boating visitors, conservatively, to be 24,000 - 30,000 annualiy in the Dubuque area. It is estimated (based on a 2002 study performed by Michigan State University) that 30% at the boaters will be overnighters (transient). This would indicate that there is the potential tor 7200 - 10,000 transient boaters visiting Dubuque annualiy. Considering that the recreational boating season is relatively short, (typicaliy starting in June and dropping dramaticaliy after the third week in August), this would indicate a need at approximately 210 transient slips on an average weekend. Recreational Spending: The USACE study indicated that spending per boating visitor per day tor day trips is $25.40 (70% at boaters). Spending per boating visitor (transient) per day tor overnight trips is $66.20 (30% at boaters). This equates to an estimated spending tor boating visitors (transient) to the Dubuque area to be at least $900,000 - $1,130,000 annualiy. Economic Impacts: Based on the 1994 Study at the Upper Mississippi River System, during the study year, recreationai activity resulted in direct and secondary expenditures at $1 .2 Biliion that helped maintain 18,500 jobs. Recreational activities in the counties bordering the study area resulted in secondary expenditures at $400 million that helped maintain an additional 7,200 jobs. Service industries, retailers, manutacturers and tinance and insurance providers were affected. One third at ali spending was made by non-residents. Additional Market Analysis information: In conjunction with the Dubuque Market Analysis performed by the Abonmarche Group, individual interviews were conducted with each marina owner/operator in Pool 12. In addition, marinas both upriver to Winona, MN and downriver to Muscatine, IA were surveyed. While the majority at the interviews where conducted by phone, three marina protessionals in Pool 12 were personaliy interviewed regarding the need tor additional transient marina slips in the Dubuque area. While anecdotal, those responses provide unique insight into the boating culture on the Mississippi in the vicinity at the American Rivers Project. Each summer weekend, tram La Crosse to Rock Island, boaters gather by tlotilla tor events. Popular events include tishing tournaments, poker runs, landward community events such as America's River Festival, live entertainment and the annual Riverfest, Dubuque's "Last bash betore the snow flies." These events are held in Dubuque as weli as other communities up and 10 down river. The flotillas that travel to these events will number up to 60 boats each, with many weekends noting the presence of several flotillas from different communities on the river. The largest impediment to these boating recreationalists is the lack at transient mooring facilities on the River. Having noted its anecdotal nature, the respondents estimated that a 90 slip transient marina in Dubuque would be filled 10- 12 weekends per summer by just these activities. While this Market Analysis cannot quantify or demonstrate the veracity of these remarks, it certainly adds to the conservatism of these projections. As other transient boat slips become available along the Mississippi River (such as the Clinton, Iowa and Fulton, Illinois transient boat slips which are currently under contract), the demand for transient slips will grow. Eventually, an entire network of transient boat slips will be available up and down the Mississippi River. Thus, drawing ever larger numbers of recreational boaters from an ever increasing population base as the ability to travel up and down the river with the assurance that first class fransient boat slips become available at reasonable distances along the Mississippi River. OBJECTIVES To obtain and use Tier 2 funding for the construction of a marina with 90 transient slips; including consulting services to determine environmental and cultural impacts; to obtain state and federal permits and complete engineering plans and specifications for the construction of transient boating facilities at the proposed Riverside Boat Pier Projecf. Specifically, Tier 2 funding will be used for transient boat facilities at the proposed Riverside Boat Pier Projecf for the following purposes: . For consulting services fa determine environmental, archeological, historical and cultural impacts. . Environmental Assessment Preparation . For technical planning and studies needed before construction can occur such as floodplains, wetlands, threatened and endangered species. . Grant administration expenses. . To obtain sfate and federal permits . To obtain engineering plans and specifications and bid contracf documents. . For the new construction of slips for transient and non-frailerable boats exceeding 26' in length. . To match other funding that is available locally for the construction of transient slips. . Dredging to accommodate greater dralt requirements (one time only) . Docks 26' and larger . Bathroom and shower facilities . Laundry tacilities . Waste and water pump-out services . Utilities including electrical and water . Navigational aids and signs thaf will direct entry to transient tie up facilities . Construcfion of a break-wall to protect docks from river borne debris, waves and ice damage. . Access walkways . Handicap accessible facilities 11 BENEFITS The Upper Mississippi River is middle America's untapped natural economic engine. Upon completion of the Riverside Boat Pier Project, transient boaters, for the first time, will be abie to stop and access the cultural and historical attractions available in the America's River Project as weli as the entire Dubuque, Iowa region. In addition, the completion of the Riverside Boat Pier Project will capture the economic benefit of the growing transient boating industry, increase the attractiveness of additional commercial/retail investments and help reverse the demographic trends of this area's declining and aging population. The Riverside Boat Pier Project wili also be a project of national significance. This project will show what is possibie when people and agencies work cooperatively beyond traditional boundary lines. Economic: A new marina is a part of a larger plan to make the waterfront. a natural asset of the community, more attractive. An attractive waterfront encourages pride, additional investment and greater economic activity in the Central Business District of the city. This wili help to reverse demographic trends such as a declining and aging population. It will help offset Machinery and Equipment Tax revenue lost by the City of Dubuque. In addition, it increases the ability of the Dubuque area to become a destination point for tourists. Significant community and economic developments wili occur for the region because of the Riverside Boat Pier Project. These benefits include, but are not limited to the foliowing: . Over a quarter of a million doliars annualiy, of direct and indirect economic activity will be injected into the local economy on an annual basis. (Source: Abonmarche Group of Benton Harbor, Michigan). This spending would be attributed to: o Tourism needs Fishing Boating needs o Restaurants Boat Sales Fuel sales o Insurance Retail shops . Increased use of other recreationai venues in Dubuque such as museums, parks, theaters, etc. . Direct and indirect jobs related to the service industries to support boating and marina development would be created. . The Riverside Boaf Pier Project will contribute socialiy to the overali quality of life in the communities, and will also provide access for scenic enjoyment of the River. . Properly managed marinas (per the feasibility study) can also provide potential excess cash flow upon the project's maturity (after 10-20 years) with potential excess annual revenues of up to $90,000 for these 90 slips. These excess funds could be utilized for: o Further improvements at the marina to add value for the boater o Creation of additional public access sites or fishing piers o Funding for other community historical and cultural activities o Funding for other community recreational projects Historical/Cultural & Recreational: The Mississippi River is designated as an "American Heritage River" and is a landmark waterway for Americans. On the Mississippi, Americans enjoy boating for fishing (12 million boats nationwide are used recreationaliy for this purpose) and cruising. The 6-mile Dubuque, Iowa 12 rivertront is one ot the longest public rivertronts on the entire reach ot the river. The Heritage Trail Rivertront System provides 10 miles ot on and off-road routes through Dubuque. There are insufficient tie-up tacilities in the Upper Mississippi River corridor tor transient boats. Citizens and boaters are unable to enjoy many recreational, cuiturai, historic, scenic and natural resources ot the river. Basic amenities such as tie-ups, laundry tacilities, tuel, utilities and restrooms are limited and or nonexistent, creating a disincentive tor transient boaters to choose the Mississippi tor their boating experience. The Riverside Boat Pier Project will help assure that transient boating on the Mississippi River tlourishes. The City ot Dubuque's beautitul waterfront and the America's River Project will become magnets to transient boaters and will increase the ability ot the region to be a point ot destination tor tourists. In addition, the marinas wiilleverage other signiticant community resources that have already been invested. Many ot these are ot iocal and regional signiticance and wiil have tremendous appeai to transient boaters. The Dubuque area is rich in historic, architectural and archeological resources. Dubuque County has 5 archeological districts, 4 historic districts and 46 individual structures listed on the Nationai Register ot Historic Places, as well as 3 National Historic Landmarks. There are 615 structures in tive locaily designated historic districts in the City ot Dubuque: Cathedral, Jackson Park, Langworthy, West 11 th Street and Old Main. These districts are also listed on the National Register. The Mines ot Spain is a 1,387 acre state recreation area located at the southeast end ot Dubuque. The Mines ot Spain spans the 600 acre Catfish Creek Preserve, an architecturai and geological preserve. The State Park is a designated National Historic Landmark, a Nationai Wild lite Federation Nature Area, and a Wafchable Wildlite Area. The Port ot Dubuque is located on the Great River Road, a 3,000 mile network ot tederai, state and county roads that parailel the Mississippi River on both sides trom Canada to the Gult ot Mexico. Dubuque lies at the midpoint ot the 267-mile long Upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlite Retuge. Historical, Cultural and Recreational Resources List: .:. Port of Dubuaue .:.

The City of Dubuque and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will enter into an agreement stating that funds obtained under the program will be spent for intended purposes. CONCLUSION The Riverside Boat Pier Project will be a "showcase project" used to show the nation the value of the BIGP initiative. The resources of government, paired with private and local investment, will produce significant enhancements to the enfire region - and lead to increased transient boating. The riverfront in Dubuque, Iowa can become a destination for fransient boaters. In addifion, it can be a way to encourage local residents to enter into boating. The riverfronts in our communities can once again become economic engines, leading to the creation of many direct and indirect jobs. This proposal can leverage state, federal and local financial support and implementation. The requested BIGP Tier 2 support will be a significant catalyst in the development of a showcase project on the Mississippi River. Applicafion reflects cost effectiveness in the use of grant funds. The application reflects unusually sfrong linkages to prominent regional and national resources. The application provides sage harbor for transient vessels on fhe greaf Mississippi River, while at the same time providing access to rich hisforic, cultural and recreational opportunities. The requested granf dollars provide that lasf piece in the financial puzzle fo bring fhis vision of America's River to the transient boaters of Iowa and the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The Riverside Boat Pier Project will provide a critical link in the growing network of fransient harbors. This will draw ever-larger numbers of recreational boaters from ever-larger populafion bases as the ability to travel the River wifh the assurance of safe harborage expands fo meet the growing demand. 17 The Riverside Boat Pier Project Vision 18 ATTACHMENTS 1 .
