Why Is It Important to Remain a Metropolitan City ?
To the general public, it s little more than mere semantics. But the distinction comes with important intangbibles and financial considerations for city leaders and residents alike. In order to be classified as a metropolitan city, it must currently have a population of 50,000. A change would have demoted Dubuque to micropolitan status. That change has been tabled and the city of Dubuque s Chamber of Commerce is, needless to say, pleased with the decision. Dubuque Chamber President Molly Grover said in a statement:
We are extremely pleased to see this issue resolved with a positive outcome for Dubuque. We could not have done this without Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, who led the national debate on this issue and put pressure on OMB for months.
