Good morning, Dubuque.

The Friends of Dubuque Parks is hosting a volunteer work day at Eagle Point Park this Saturday, Aug.

29 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will weed and clean garden beds, and tools are provided (or you can bring your own).

Foundry Square is being built on a former parking lot in the Millwork District near the Intermodal Transportation Center.

The park, costing an estimated $2,687,505, will feature lawn areas, art, play space, and lighting, and will serve as an event center over the coming years.

Dubuque Community School District voters will decide on Sept.

8 in a special election whether to renew and double the levy to cover rising maintenance, safety upgrades, and bus replacement costs. Voters must be district members and the measure needs 50% approval to pass.

Dubuque Community Schools will hold five focus groups over the next two weeks to discuss ways to reduce a $17 million deficit — which may cause building closures.

The first meeting is today at Roosevelt Middle School at 6 p.m., with sessions on Thursday, Sunday, and next Wednesday at local schools.

The City of Dubuque received a $750K Jeffris Family Foundation Capital Campaign Challenge grant to help restore Eagle Point Park and has already approved nearly $1M to begin upgrades on tennis courts, sidewalks, and other areas today as it launches a two-to-one matching funds drive.

Dubuque County Public Health is urging residents to check their MMR vaccination status today — even though there are no confirmed measles cases locally — as free vaccines are available through the Visiting Nurse Association amid a nearby outbreak.

Sundown Mountain Resort — Dubuque’s skiing hotspot — is offering its August Pass Sale until Aug.

31 with discounted passes including full season, kids, weekend warrior, and weekday warrior options. The deal gives both newcomers and experienced skiers a great chance to plan their winter fun.
