Moving Forward
As our project continues we hope to
become more and more engaged with
our community partners and increase
our resource network through
community members here in Dubuque.
We do this with the goal of gathering
others expertise as well as our own
observations of what can be done in
the city and at Loras to increase the
sustainability of the buildings and
operations of each.
As we continue our research we will
zero in on best practices and models
for water sustainability from other
successful sustainable ventures. We will
pay special attention to practices done
by local and/or institutions with similar
situations.
