City Council Seeks Second Opinion On Five Flags Civic Center

Dubuque City Council members will seek a second opinion on a proposal to build a new Five Flags Center after an updated analysis estimated the project would cost almost $90 million. Council members voted, 7-0, on Monday to direct the city’s Civic Center Commission to make a recommendation as to how the city should move forward with the proposed project after the recent analysis found that the project would cost about $15 million more than originally estimated. The commission will meet on Monday, April 25 and the commission’s recommendation could come before the City Council by its May 2nd meeting.
