Noting the $44M in downtown investment this past year, $80M in beginning construction, and $145M+ planned for the future, the front page of the QC Times highlighted the Downtown Davenport Partnership's Annual Meeting last week. We were excited to introduce the new Western Gateway Vision to the community, as well. While on the development topic, congratulations to the Scott County Family Y on their ribbon-cutting and grand opening of the new downtown Early Learning Center!
