Main Street Magic: Dubuque’s Downtown Renaissance Continues
Hey Dubuque! Gather 'round because there's some major excitement brewing downtown! Dubuque Main Street just handed out its very first Dubuque County Swap Grant, and it's causing quite the buzz!
Tom Kann, the proud proprietor of 950 Main Street, just scored a sweet $10,000 for sprucing up his ground-floor gem, Makers Mark. If you haven't heard of it yet, Makers Mark is an art studio open to all, adding a splash of creativity to our city streets!
But here's the kicker: the Dubuque County Swap Grant isn't a one-off deal. Thanks to our visionary County Commissioners, Dubuque Main Street is set to dole out a whopping $130,000 by the end of 2025. Talk about a major boost for our local business owners and building buffs!
