    Page 1 of 10 Request for Qualifications/Proposals Public Art Master Plan – Moline, IL September 10, 2019 Summary: The City of Moline (City), in partnership with Renew Moline, a 501(C)(3) non-profit economic development entity (Renew), is soliciting qualifications and proposals for the development of a Public Art Master Plan. The partners intend to develop a Public Art Master Plan for the downtown Moline area to enhance the urban experience and provide an attractive environment for new development. Background: With a population of approximately 45,000, Moline is the largest city in Rock Island County, Illinois. It is one of the Quad Cities, four mid-sized midwestern cities that straddle the Mississippi River, 165 miles west of Chicago. With its neighboring cities of Bettendorf, Iowa; Davenport, Iowa and Rock Island, Illinois, the area population is almost 400,000, the largest urban area between Minneapolis and St. Louis. Moline’s local economy has a strong corporate presence, including John Deere and KONE, Inc. A recent two-phase, $48 million expansion of Western Illinois University has added a new state university campus to the downtown riverfront. Nearby, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union construction of its $26m headquarters is scheduled for completion this fall. Downtown hosts the John Deere Pavilion, a visitor and discovery center; as well as a number of national chain hotels and commercial developments. A portion of downtown Moline is a National Register Historic District. The Rock Island Arsenal, home of the First Army Headquarters, employs approximately 6,000 individuals on a 950-acre island immediately adjacent to downtown Moline.

  • Moline, IL August 16Th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New
    Moline, IL August 16th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New Look, New Owners & New League Nearly a decade has passed since the Quad City Steamwheelers played their final game at iWireless Center, but the future of Professional Indoor Football in Quad Cities made a huge step forward today. An ownership group with area roots announced today that the Quad City Steamwheelers will play seven (7) home games at the iWireless Center under the Champions Indoor Football (CIF) League banner. The group is spearheaded by veteran Sports Executive Doug Bland, along with Bland’s longtime business partner Terry Dickerson and Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson. Both Bland and Nelson have strong ties to the region, as Bland was born and raised in Ottawa, IL, while Nelson spent his youth here in Quad Cities. Donnie Nelson is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Don Nelson whose NBA journey began as a standout player at Rock Island High. “We are so excited to bringing professional indoor football back to Quad Cities” stated Bland. “The Quad City market was passionate about their Steamwheelers and now being able to bring the team back with a stable league like the CIF, is a perfect match”. Donnie Nelson also commented on being part of the group to bring the Steamwheelers back. “I am thrilled to be part of the magic that helped launch players like Kurt Warner’s career, his speech in Canton was an inspiration to all of us born and raised in the Midwest. My hope is that we can give the Quad City fans football entertainment like its never experienced and help springboard the next Kurt Warner in the NFL” said Nelson.
