Summary

City Manager Josh Bolt said Maquoketa will soon release applications for a $750,000 Paul Bruhn historic revitalization grant from the National Park Service, and staff warned of major concrete pours and street closures this week that will affect local traffic.

City Manager Josh Bolt told the council the city will host a public informational seminar on a Paul Bruhn historic revitalization grant worth $750,000 from the National Park Service and that applications will be released for owners of historic properties in the city. The program targets registered historic properties and will be administered with staff and the chosen architect.

Bolt also warned residents about a major construction week downtown—large pours and street closures near Sacred Heart and Erie—and asked drivers to avoid the area so cement trucks and crews can work safely. The city said the grant work and construction are separate items but both will attract public attention in the coming weeks.
