How Envision 2030 Will Help Decide the Future of Dubuque

A new campaign facilitated by the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque and Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce – ENVISION 2030 – is an opportunity for people to share their ideas for strengthening the place they call home.

Increasing access to brain health care has become a major goal for the entire Dubuque region, and work toward that goal got a boost 20 years ago when community members named “brain health services” as a big idea that would improve life in Dubuque.

“Since then, we’ve seen many important, systemic improvements, and community-wide efforts that will continue long into the future,” says Peter Supple, director of nonprofit relations for the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. Resources to help people in need access services have been introduced for schools and law enforcement agencies, while nonprofits have worked to reduce the stigma around brain health care.

These developments gained momentum thanks to ENVISION 2010, a community visioning campaign facilitated by the Community Foundation and Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce in 2005, through which people were asked what ideas would help strengthen Dubuque for the future.

Today, the progress made toward these ideas has inspired the Community Foundation and the Chamber to reboot the visioning campaign for a new generation of Dubuquers: Enter ENVISION 2030. Beginning in March, community members will have the opportunity to submit their ideas for making Dubuque a community where people want to live, visit and do business for generations to come.
