ALL-AMERICAN CITY
ALL-AMERICA CITY. The annual award is made by the National Civic League to recognize outstanding examples of community problem solving, civic engagement and collaboration between the public, profit and nonprofit sectors.
In 2007 Dubuque received the designation after highlighting such accomplishments as the America's River project, downtown revitalization and establishment of the Crescent Community Health Center.
In 2012 the city was again a recipient of the award. The selection was based upon a plan to help more students read at grade level by the time they finish third grade.
