Good morning, Dubuque.

Today the Dubuque County Conservation Board holds an open house at the Public Library in Asbury from 4:30 to 6:30 for park upgrades through 2035.

Two Thursday events occur at Backpocket Events Space from 11:30 to 1 and at Cascade Public Library from 4:30 to 6:30 — survey available.

Back Waters Amp at Q Casino + Resort will debut on July 4 with Whiskey Myers headlining and Taylor Hunnicutt opening the show, offering up to 8,000 seats along the Mississippi at Schmitt Island; tickets go on sale starting April 3.

The north runway at Dubuque Regional Airport closes for construction this week to build a new taxiway for general aviation hangars.

Work begins Monday and will finish in August + the west runway stays open.

The U.S. Army will raise its maximum enlistment age to 42 effective April 20, codifying a 2023 policy that boosted recruitment numbers; veteran Al Rowell, who directs Dubuque’s Veterans' Freedom Center, supports the change (he said it opens service opportunities for experienced adults).
