Historic Millwork District Revitalization

Historic Millwork District

Master Plan

The Historic Millwork District offers authenticity, character, and valuable lessons about the importance of sustainable urban design strategies. At the start of the 20th century, the District was the innovative and entrepreneurial center of the region and was the backbone of the regional economy. The revitalization of the Historic Millwork District will renew the area with a strategy that connects people, planet, and profit in a mixed-use neighborhood.

Iowa Great Places is a State of Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs initiative that combines state resources with local assets to help Iowans make their communities, regions, districts or neighorhoods great places to live, work and raise a family.
