The corner of 9th Street and Central Avenue is now home to a beautiful community gathering space dedicated to Dubuque's first responders, thanks to the efforts of Dubuque Forward. The park design focused on creating an environment highlighting some of our region's natural materials and forms. The project, managed by Gronen, broke ground in early summer of 2024 at the site of a former gas station. Over the course of the next few months, along with the help of several partners, this underused space was transformed into a micro forest and sanctuary for the entire community to enjoy.
