5 issues in development with medium priority
2026 Internal TIF amendment to North Urban Renewal Area Plan
The city plans to amend its North Urban Renewal Area Plan to add a 2026 Internal TIF, a financing tool that redirects property tax growth in that area toward redevelopment. A public hearing lets residents weigh in.
Northeast Davenport land rezoning
About 16 acres at East 46th Street and Eastern Avenue could shift from agricultural to residential zoning, opening the door for single-family and two-family homes in Ward 8.
Proposed memorial park at the 324 Main Street site
Alderman Vasquez proposed the city explore creating a peaceful park with trees and a bench at the former 324 Main Street collapse site.
Fairmount Branch renovation complete
The Fairmount Branch got new carpet, paint, energy-efficient lighting, a bigger children's area, and an accessible self-check station. Staff handled the closure disruption well and patrons are happy.
West End revitalization
Alderman Vasquez warned that as the city pushes development in north and northwest Davenport, older wards with vacant commercial areas could be left further behind without active promotion citywide.
