    One of Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher’s favorite words on Wednesday, Feb. 26, was “more.”

    He used the word many times during the Bettendorf State of the City Address to describe the city’s economy, business growth, development projects and its future. The city is moving forward with more businesses, more housing, more people, more services and more tourists and visitors coming to Bettendorf, the mayor said.
