From The Office Of The Mayor
Citizens of Blue Grass and those looking for a place to call home and raise a family, consider moving to “Blue Grass, Iowa”. We are located between the Mississippi River and I -80 as well as Davenport and Muscatine. I would call “Blue Grass” a true bedroom community offering its community and guest all the essentials from the local grocer, restaurant, banking, Elementary school, hardware & lumberyard, medical as well as dental care and more.
For the past 2 ½ years serving as your Mayor, I have been busy looking at ways we can improve our community, making sure the essential services have the training, certifications and equipment to provide the best. I’ve seen a growth in our residential construction, some new businesses and potential for more to come which is a must to assist in creating a stable tax base for handling the ever-growing cost to operate the City.
