Greater Dubuque Development Corp

Established in November 1984, Greater Dubuque Development is a public/private non-profit partnership formed for the purpose of creating and retaining quality employment within our region while maintaining and enhancing our quality of life for the benefit of all businesses and residents. While our focus is on Dubuque and Dubuque County, also referred to in economic development terms as the Dubuque Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), the positive impact of our actions and relationships ripple throughout the Tri-State region. Our 2022-2027 YOU can be great here campaign is a five-year plan with aggressive goals, clear strategies, and actionable steps aimed at population growth, job creation, increased wages, construction investment, and poverty reduction. Through our three pillars of Workforce Solutions, Business Services, and Strategic Initiatives, we support and grow our business community and their workforce while constantly improving our region’s quality of life. With the help of regional leaders, businesses, non-profits, educational institutions, and citizens working closely together, we can create a vibrant region of choice that delivers on the promise YOU can be great here.
