DUBUQUE, IA (August 2, 2018) - The city of Dubuque, Iowa launched a new program providing business loans for moderate and low-income business owners in the downtown area.
"For us, it’s a great opportunity to look at the Central Avenue corridor and kind of begin to fill some of the store fronts that are there as we go forward with some redevelopment," said Dubuque Economic Development Director Maurice Jones.
The city is providing $150,000 of loans in $35,000 increments as a starting point.
