Catalyzing Change in Dubuque: Small-Scale Development for Big Impact

Thank you to all the incredible catalysts who joined us for “Catalyzing Change: Small-Scale Development for Big Impact” in Dubuque — and a special thank you to Voices Studios for hosting such an inspiring day!

More than 50 community-minded attendees — including property owners, developers, architects, realtors, and lenders — came together to explore how small-scale, locally led development can transform neighborhoods from the inside out.

Neighborhood Evolution was honored to share our approach and real-world success stories, sparking conversations about how to turn great ideas into tangible, community-rooted projects.

The energy in the room was electric — a reminder that real change happens when local people have the tools, confidence, and connections to invest in their own neighborhoods.

We can’t wait to see how the seeds planted in Dubuque will grow.
