MULTICULTURAL FAMILY CENTER. Opened on September 15, 2009, the Center at 1157 Central Avenue was only a few blocks from its former home at 1340 White Street. This building had been used since July 2005.
The Center operated under the direction of Dubuque County Iowa State University Extension with several partnerships including the DUBUQUE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT and Northeast Iowa Community College. The Dubuque Community School District purchased the former Kephart Music building and a parking lot at PRESCOTT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL for $349,000. In 2008 the city purchased the building which became the home of the Center from the school district for $189,000. The first-floor renovation of the building for the Center cost more than $400,000. A second floor renovation into office space will cost an estimated $300,000.
In 2009 the building offered three large rooms for programming and a room set aside for private events. Open to families of all backgrounds, the Center was also planned to provide activities for middle and high school students.
