Small Business Support/Assistance

Renew Moline’s priority is to ensure that downtown is successful.  To that end, we are often asked to provide support and assistance to businesses and people seeking to start a business downtown, or to help resolve issues that sometimes arise.  We have experience and can help with general questions, direction to resources and people.  While we don’t necessarily have all the answers, we do endeavor to find them. 

Renew Moline regularly provides support and assistance to downtown businesses that request it. Some of the examples of this support includes:

  • Advised and assisted the Sound Conservatory in securing a lease and moving operations into the historic Carnegie Library and later hosted a grand opening ribbon cutting;
  • Hosted a ribbon cutting for El Encanto Boots;
  • Supported Ballet Quad Cities in their acquisition of a building on 5th Avenue and planning for building renovation
  • Supported Pour Bros in establishing their location at the Element Hotel
  • Supported the negotiations of a development agreement and redevelopment of Sohrbeck Lofts
  • Supported Sugar A La Mode Bakery in completing tenant improvements, including securing a contractor for some of the necessary work.
  • Supported Las Salsas Dona Mary in establishing their location on 6th Avenue.
