OPPORTUNITYInformation TechnologyDubuque County
Greater Dubuque Development briefed the Board on a currently paused hyperscale data center project, noting a developer is evaluating multiple Midwest sites and no formal application has been filed due to a county moratorium. An economic impact study modeled a conservative $12 billion capital investment, 400 direct permanent jobs at $100,000+, and major tax and construction impacts if a project proceeds. This is an early‑stage siting competition where utilities, site selectors, engineering firms, and large‑scale IT infrastructure vendors can help make Dubuque’s framework attractive to eventual developers.
Developer and data center operator are not yet identified publicly; analysis references hyperscale m...
OPPORTUNITYAdministration & FinanceBlack Hawk County
The board will approve depository banks and maximum deposit limits for FY 2026-2027, including several local banks and the Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust. Farmers State Bank’s limit is being increased from $50 million to $60 million, signaling growing cash management needs. Treasury management, banking services, investment advisory, and financial software providers can use this as a signal that the district actively manages large balances and diverse banking relationships.
Item is approval of maximum depository limits, not a competitive RFP, but shows scale of district fi...
Pella is adopting the Imagine More Community Urban Renewal Plan with TIF to redevelop portions of Central College’s campus into up to 1,350 rental units and 120,000 sq ft of commercial space, supported by about $22.3 million in public infrastructure. The plan anticipates roughly $345 million in private investment and up to $25 million in future economic development incentives, but no developers or projects are chosen yet. This is early-stage positioning time for planners, engineers, developers, housing partners, and infrastructure firms that can shape projects, secure incentives, and structure deals over a 20-year buildout.
Public works listed: Independence, W 3rd, Fifield, Union, W 4th extension, utility relocations and u...
West Des Moines approved a consolidated urban renewal plan and first reading of a TIF ordinance for The Grand Experience, a 226‑acre mixed‑use destination along Grand Avenue. The plan authorizes up to $105.5M in tax increment rebates over 23 years to support a waterpark resort, conference hotel, amphitheater, and 150+ workforce housing units plus major road projects. Vendors in planning, design, finance, and delivery of large municipal mixed‑use districts should track this as it moves from financing structure into detailed project scoping and procurement.
Plan rolls five prior Grand Experience urban renewal areas into one and lists ~$49.5M in related roa...

Construction of a new baseball/softball complex, including a turf baseball field, grass/red ball infield softball field, middle school field renovation, main entrance, bleachers with press box, and other amenities.
Cedar Falls plans the Greenhill Village Commons Urban Renewal Area to support a new 16-lot residential subdivision along Loren Drive. Big Hand Pepper, LLC will build about $1.25 million of public streets and utilities, with the City reimbursing up to 50% of those costs via TIF rebates capped around $792,000 and expecting workforce or affordable housing participation. With infrastructure completion targeted by the end of 2026, there will be upcoming needs for site and utility construction, housing construction, and potential affordable/workforce housing partnerships.
Cedar Falls is creating the Wild Horse Ridge 7th Urban Renewal Area to support the next phase of a long-running residential subdivision. Midwest Development Co. will install about $2.1 million of streets and utilities for 32 single-family lots and a 2.25-acre park, with the City planning to reimburse up to 60% of public infrastructure costs via TIF rebates capped near $1.84 million. This opens near-term demand for engineering, site/civil work, utilities, park design, and housing construction as the development agreement is finalized and lots build out.
After receiving two bids for the WRF Phosphorus Recovery Facility, with the low bid of $86,674,400 from Rice Lake Construction Group coming in 45% over the revised estimate, the WRA is now rejecting all bids. Staff and HDR evaluated multiple options, including splitting the project, using CMAR, or changing how future phosphorus limits are addressed, and will update comparisons for the Technical Committee. This is a major process project back in planning, creating a strong opening for value engineering, alternative delivery, and phosphorus management solutions.
Pavilion project including a pavilion, green space, upgraded parking for farmers market, and a solar canopy cover. The project is moving from planning to final design and fundraising.
Fehr Graham presented plans to use a USDA federal earmark for Belle Plaine water infrastructure. Council chose a $7.9 million Package 2: new standpipe, well house power upgrades, a new well #7, and possible water main upgrades. Design and financing plans are in place but no construction contractors or equipment vendors are named yet. This is a major multi-component project where civil, mechanical, electrical, and water-system vendors can help shape specs and implementation as the city moves toward procurement.
Dallas County reviewed the 100% design development budget and scope for major renovations at 100 Nile Kinnick Dr N and 210 N 10th Street for the Auditor’s operations. Turner Construction, as CM-at-Risk, estimates about $3.3 million in project costs with alternates for brick veneer, high‑density storage, dry-chem fire suppression, generator relocation, and a new early voting vestibule. Bid documents are planned for mid‑September 2026 with field work starting January 2027 and lasting about nine months, so subcontractors, specialty trades, FF&E, low-voltage, and life-safety vendors should track upcoming bid packages through Turner and the county.
Avoca approved final engineering and architectural plans from SEH for a FY2027 renovation of City Hall offices and council chambers. Staff are now authorized to complete construction documents and advertise competitive bids, with RFPs explicitly listed as the next step. This creates an upcoming opportunity for general contractors, trades, furniture, low-voltage, and technology vendors to bid on a multi-scope building modernization.
