School Board Approves Nonrenewal Of Lease Of Soccer Complex

The Dubuque Community School Board on Monday approved the nonrenewal of the district’s lease of the Dubuque Soccer Complex to Dubuque Soccer Alliance. The current lease expires in May 2023, and district leaders have said they intend to give the soccer alliance the option to purchase the land. The soccer alliance has leased the complex since 1993. The organization pays $1 per year to rent the facility, and it takes care of maintenance and improvements. Superintendent Stan Rheingans said district officials have had good conversations with soccer alliance leaders so far and that he thinks they will work hard to make sure it remains a soccer complex.
