The Hilltop Campus Village (HCV) has scheduled three public meetings to get input on the central Davenport organization’s quest to create a master plan.
The HCV master plan project is key to the future of the organization and future development in the neighborhood, the HCV said in a news release. The goal of this document is threefold: to be used as a blueprint for the future of this important corridor; to be used as a development and investment tool to entice interest in the Hilltop; and to be used as a tool with which the Hilltop Campus Village Main Street organization can measure its success.
The public, stakeholders and others are invited to these meetings:
- 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, at St. Ambrose University, Rogalski Center.
- Noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, at Palmer College of Chiropractic’s Welcome Center.
- 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, at St. Ambrose’s Rogalski Center.
During January and February, the HCV circulated a survey for the public to provide input about the Hilltop Campus Village. The Hilltop now is ready to move forward on the next step by inviting community input through charrettes and focus groups.
“The HCV is really excited on how well this project is going, but we encourage more participation from the public,” Brian Kramer, executive director of the HCV, said in the release.
These meetings are being hosted so the public can provide more nuanced comments and input. If interested in participating, visit here, or contact Brian Kramer at [email protected].
“It is important that we have feedback from the community on what they would like to see and what they feel would be meaningful improvements to this area of Davenport,” he added. “I think a major theme in our public discourse at the moment is that there is a feeling that people do not have a voice in these decisions. This is an opportunity to provide feedback on this very specific area of Davenport.”

The Hilltop Campus Village was formed in 2009 with the mission of revitalizing the central corridor of Davenport.
