Area-Wide Planning Grant
The Brownfields area-wide planning (AWP) grant provides funding to conduct activities that will enable the development of an area-wide plan (including plan implementation strategies) for assessing, cleaning up and reusing catalyst/high priority brownfield sites. In 2015, the City of Dubuque was awarded $200,000 through an AWP grant to address priority brownfields sites.
Dubuque seeks to utilize Area-Wide Planning resources to redevelop the 33-acre South Port into a new mixed-use neighborhood as a compliment to the extensive efforts put forth to revitalize the North Port into a new downtown community. The three catalyst, high priority sites are:
- 3.5-acre City-owned parcel on the waterfront north of Dodge Street
- 1.7-acre Newt Marine Service property located at 85 Terminal Street and 100 E. 1st Street
- 1.2-acre former Molo Oil Company property located at 45 Jones Street
