Dubuque has come a long way since the City Council made sustainability a priority in 2006. Over the course of two years, a grassroots community initiative developed Sustainable Dubuque’s Vision Statement and 11 supporting sustainability principles, which were adopted by the City Council in 2008. The 11 principles fall under the three pillars of sustainability: economic prosperity, social/cultural vibrancy, and environmental/ecological equity—each the foundation for ensuring the long-term viability of Dubuque and the well-being of its residents. The goal of Dubuque’s sustainability mission is to create a model community with a strong economy and a clean, safe environment where everyone in the community has an opportunity to prosper. This report provides the first objective, statistical analysis of Dubuque’s progress toward becoming that community.
