Previous Commercial DREAM Projects

The City of Davenport invested $900,000 in seven local businesses through the Commercial DREAM Project. Transformations have been happening, enhancing the exterior of each commercial property through the repair and rehabilitation of the exterior. Examples of previous Commercial DREAM projects include:

• Graverts Auto Sales LLC
• Nico's Tire
• Tappa's  Steak House
• Total Cluster Fudge
• Duncalf Chiropractic 
• D&K Real Estate

We hope the community is as excited as we are for these transformations! Thank you to these business owners for their investment in Davenport. We are on a mission to transform Davenport's older commercial corridors, one building at a time.
