Reimagining a riverfront downtown district

This initiative, led by the City of Moline, Renew Moline, and MKSK with the support of a multidisciplinary team, is creating a compelling vision and supporting implementation plan for a reimagined Moline riverfront and downtown district.

Downtown Moline has had considerable success in redevelopment in the last 20 years, but like other downtowns around the country, it also has its share of empty storefronts, vacant property and underdeveloped parcels. The construction of the new I-74 bridge presents a unique opportunity to redevelop areas of Downtown Moline that once laid under the previous interstate highway. This process, building on years of planning and input, will result in a thoughtful and creative integration of development, open space and associated infrastructure.

This planning and design process has embraced engagement and aspires to both community and ecological resilience, improving health and wellness for all ages and catalyzing future investment within downtown Moline and along the Mississippi River.
