Historic Millwork District

The Historic Millwork District instills the area with authenticity and character while offering valuable lessons about the importance of sustainable urban design strategies. At the turn of the century, the district was the innovative and entrepreneurial center of the region and was the backbone of the regional economy. Dozens of companies, 2,500 employees, a district heating system, and intimate connections to Downtown and the Washington Neighborhood characterized the district.

The revitalization of this district will resurrect the forgotten strategy that connects people, planet, and profit in a mixed-use neighborhood. It offers a vision for a community reconnected with surrounding neighborhoods, reenergized with housing, retail, offices, galleries, entertainment, and employment, and re-imagined as a laboratory for sustainable practices and technologies.

The buildings are architecturally elaborate with pavilions, pilasters, massive entry arches, decorative pediments and parapets, and other distinctive features. Brick streets and still-functioning rail spurs add key unique features to the district. Your project can recapture history while being part of this exciting development in Dubuque.

Port of Dubuque

The Mississippi Riverfront has long served as a point of entry into Dubuque. The Port of Dubuque is once again a vibrant, thriving destination for business and industry for area residents and tourists alike. The Port of Dubuque is a popular stop for many riverboat cruise lines including the famous Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and American Queen. These excursions allow thousands of passengers to disembark each season to explore the Port and the community.

Housed in the Port of Dubuque is the Grand River Center, a state-of-the-art convention complex, which is complemented by the adjacent Grand Harbor Hotel and Waterpark. The Mississippi Riverwalk and the Star Brewery feature the Alliant Energy Amphitheater, a site for special events, music and live entertainment throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons.
