As with the balance of the nation and the world, the Quad Cities has had its unfortunate share of job loss and economic downturn and we could use your assistance in getting the area back on track. Attached is specific information on Iowa Gateway Center, the project that we believe could do just that. As Mayor of Bettendorf, I stand ready to assist you in any way in bringing this effort to a successful completion. Thank you and continued success in all your efforts.
