Historic Millwork District Master Plan Development

By Bryce Parks on April 21, 2012

MILLWORK DISTRICT SERIES: PART 2
by Mike Ironside
After Warehouse District Revitalization became a top 10 community priority as identified in Envision 2010 announced in January of 2006, the City of Dubuque, property owners, and other stakeholders like Dubuque Main Street and Gronen Restoration began holding regular meetings toward developing a strategy for district redevelopment. At the same time, the Dubuque City Council set sustainability and the arts as some of the City’s top priorities – a challenge for any development plan, but ultimately in synch with a major redevelopment that would reuse existing structures in an urban neighborhood that had already witnessed the arts re-imagining uses for warehouse spaces.

By Bryce Parks on April 21, 2012

HISTORIC MILLWORK DISTRICT: PART 1
by Mike Ironside
Anyone who attended the Voices From The Warehouse District art exhibit last September could not help but notice the new streetscape and some pretty major construction occurring just across the street in the Caradco Building. What is going on there? Well, in this series of articles, 365 will explore the redevelopment of the Caradco Building and the Historic Millwork District in which it is located. In this issue, we’ll begin by looking at a little of the history of the Millwork District, its unfortunate decline and how the Dubuque community came to re-imagine the area as an opportunity for redevelopment.
