Located halfway between Chicago and Des Moines in Scott County, with easy access to I-80 and I-74, Davenport covers 65 square miles, is the third largest city in Iowa, the largest of the Quad Cities with a regional population of roughly 385,000 people, and has been declared “The Most Livable Small City in America.” The community boasts a thriving downtown and business-friendly environment, with a focus on development and revitalization. Residents enjoy the endless array of recreational and leisure activities Davenport affords them and take pride in the city’s rich history, traditions, and culture. Established on May 14, 1836, by US Army interpreter Antoine LeClaire, Davenport was named after Colonel George Davenport, a veteran of the War of 1812, and was the site of the signing of the Black Hawk Treaty. The City was incorporated in 1839. Its convenient location on the Mississippi River made it a center for commerce. Davenport's ties to the military remain strong and the city was was recognized in 2015 by G.I. Magazine as a Top 5 Military community. Presently, there are over 15,000 veterans residing in Davenport and Scott County. Today, Davenport is the economic engine of the bi- state Quad Cities area and is a premier place to build or expand a business. With over 37 million people living within a 300-mile radius, Davenport’s central location provides businesses with a strong network of customers and suppliers as well as easy access to the river, major thoroughfares, and excellent public transportation. Additionally, the cost of doing business in the Quad Cities is among the lowest in the country, with a workforce that surpasses national averages in quality, stability, and productivity. The city was ranked the 16th best metro area for high-tech employment growth between 2006 and 2011. The Davenport Now program provides rebates on future taxes for new construction and improvements to existing properties.

Major area employers include Rock Island Arsenal, Deere & Company, Genesis Health System, Hy-Vee Food Stores, Trinity Regional Health System, Tyson Fresh Meats, Alcoa Inc., Kraft Foods/Oscar Mayer, and the HNI Corporation. Situated along a gorgeous and unique portion of the Mississippi River where the water flows east to west, downtown Davenport is the city’s heart and soul. According to Smart Growth America, Davenport has one of the top 10 fastest-growing downtown populations for mid- sized metro areas. The community’s unique character, history, and future reside in this urban core and it is a hub for entertainment, business, art and culture, shopping, and civic service. With this American landmark as the City’s “front porch,” the river provides the perfect backdrop for riverfront parks and outdoor activities. the community, continued The City invested $77 million in its downtown from 2013-2015. There are $80 million in projects currently under construction, including the City Square project, and more than $145 million slated for the future. Recent developments include the Union Arcade Building, Market Lofts, and Halligan Coffee Building. The Harborview project, a $30 million renovation of nine separate warehouses just east of downtown Davenport, is under construction and two mixed-income housing projects, 501 Brady and Lafayette Square, will begin construction this year. There are currently over 1,200 residential units with additional units in the construction and planning phases. The City is committed to preserving and revitalizing its historic Mississippi riverfront and, in recent years, has enhanced the area with new amenities, including a spray park, active recreation corridor, skate park, and walking and biking trails. One of the riverfront’s main attractions is Modern Woodmen Park, home of the QC River Bandits and voted “Best Minor League Ballpark” by USA Today readers and 10 Best in the 2013 10 Best Reader’s Choice Travel Awards. As the City’s award-winning RiverVision Plan continues to unfold, there will be more exciting developments along the riverfront in future years. Cultural and recreational activities play a vital role in the lives of Davenport citizens and there is plenty to do in the community whether you are a visitor or year-round resident. The City has an extensive parks and recreation system, with approximately 2,200 acres of park land, and offers a broad range of programs and facilities, from golf courses, tennis courts, and cricket, rugby, baseball, and soccer fields, to botanical gardens, aquatic centers, hiking, walking, biking, and equestrian trails, and a nature preserve. Other attractions include a professional theatre, the Quad Cities Symphony, historic riverboat cruises and gaming, the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, the Quad City Air Show, the world famous Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival, and Bix 7 Race. The City is home to the River Center/Adler Theatre, Putnam Museum of History and Natural Sciences, a 50-year old children’s theatre program, and one of the largest art institutions in the state of Iowa, the Figge Art Museum, which has an awe- inspiring collection of paintings and prints by American Regionalist Grant Wood.

  • 100335 City of Davenport Green City.Pdf
    Recycled paper? Check. Hybrid cars in fleet? Yes. LED traffic signals? Years ago. Waterless urninals? Sure, along with an internationally recognized sewage treatment plant. Green roofs? Brown at the moment, but Spring will soon be here. Home grown fuels? Of course, this is Iowa. CNU membership? That, a revised zoning code and multiple new urban projects underway. Signatory to the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement? Done. Paperless office? Ah…we’re trying… The City of Davenport’s “Green City” initiative is a key strategy to lead the revitalization of our region. A historic city on the banks of the Mississippi in the heart of the farm belt, Davenport long led the Quad Cities with a proud manufacturing history. But, like many old manufacturing cities, we lost jobs by the hundreds and thousands and suffered double digit percentage population losses as globalized manufacturing hit the community hard as the last century closed. Some thought Davenport was to be another cast off America city, who had seen its heyday and now watched on the sidelines as the nation recast its lot with sprawling sunbelt and suburban communities. As a national strategy, urban disinvestment is neither pretty nor sustainable. Luckily, Davenport suffers neither from a lack of Midwestern resilience nor pluck. We are the place where railroads first crossed the Mississippi, opening the west and giving jazz to the nation as river roots music traveled up the river and morphed east / west along the tracks. We are the largest American city that lives with the river that gives us life without costly and environmentally suspect levees (more on this to follow).
