Dubuque, Iowa is one of the most captivating and "sustainable" cities in the Midwest. Its picturesque river bluffs, colorful autumn leaves and clean city streets make it truly a "Masterpiece on the Mississippi." The city's 11 sustainability principles provide a framework for its strategic planning process and serve as a programming guide for the annual Growing Sustainable Communities Conference.
Sitting at the convergence of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, Dubuque is home to five institutions of higher education, two casino complexes, a greyhound race track, the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, and hundreds of shops and restaurants that make it a popular tourist destination. In 2005, it led the Midwest in job growth, ranking as the 22nd fastest-growing economy in the U.S.A.
