Good morning, Dubuque.
🏘️ Community
Agri Star has rehired about 400 workers after a July fire damaged 75% of the kosher meat plant in Postville — nearly 200 remain awaiting rehiring while local organizations provide rental assistance and food support to affected families.
Dubuque has been chosen to join the Love Your Block initiative, led by the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation, to support resident-led projects in its Washington, Point and North End neighborhoods.
The city will receive $70-thousand to award +mini-grants+ for projects like lot cleanups, tree planting and streetscape beautification.
📰 Economy
Dubuque farmers are facing a slower harvest as heavy rain and rising diesel fuel costs hold field work back; corn harvest stands at 4% complete compared to last year (adding to the tough season).
