  • State of the City Address
    State of the City Address Mayor Roy D. Buol Monday, March 23, 2009 City Council Chambers, Historic Federal Building 350 W. 6th Street, Dubuque, Iowa 1 Good evening and welcome to the 3rd Annual State of the City Address in the City Council’s official chambers located in our historic Federal Building in downtown Dubuque! Tonight is our time to reflect on 2008, its successes, its challenges, and indeed, our community’s preparation to take advantage of opportunities in the face of those challenges. Certainly, on a national level, 2008 was a year that few of us will ever forget, and one that the nation’s historians, economists, and others will be speaking and writing about for many generations to come. 2008 was an historic time as our nation elected its first African-American president. And later, we watched with pride as our Dubuque Colts participated in the Presidential Inaugural Parade, earning the Governor’s designation as “Iowa’s Ambassadors of Music!” Locally, 2008 marked our City’s 175th anniversary! Many citizen volunteers, businesses, and industries joined together to donate time, talents, and resources to executing a variety of community-wide events and publications to celebrate our City’s rich history! 2008 was also a time of almost unimaginable lows. In Iowa, it was a time of many natural disasters, bringing catastrophic tornado and flood damage to the cities of Parkersburg, Cedar Rapids, and many other Iowa communities including several in Dubuque County. The City of Dubuque, with memories of its own devastating flood in 1965, responded to our neighboring communities and, along with private citizens and numerous local organizations provided human resources, drinking water, equipment, supplies, and relief funds for the long- term needs of Iowa victims and their families.
