PRIORITY CONSIDERATION TO BE
GIVEN TO SECTION 3 BUSINESSES
The City of Moline will be placing a street and utility project out for bid for the
Hawk Hollow development site located west of 8th Street and south of 5th Avenue
sometime this month. The City anticipates utilizing Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds to pay for a portion of this construction work and as a result, is
obliged to follow U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Section

consideration for this contracting opportunity.
In order to qualify as a Section 3 business your business must meet one of three
criteria: stipulating that your business is low-income, that your business employs
substantially low-income residents, or evidence that your business is committed to
subcontracting twenty-five percent or more of the total dollar amount of all subcontracts to business that meet one of the other two criterias. For more information

MOLINE LEAST EXPENSIVE CITY
TO LIVE IN AREA IN 2015 STUDY
Once again, the City of Moline has
beat out its neighboring cities as the
least expensive place to live. Although,
the cost of living decreased since
2014 in Rock Island, East Moline, Moline, Silvis, Davenport, and Bettendorf,
Moline’s decrease in costs from 2014
kept Moline as the least expensive city
to live with hundreds in annual savings
compared to it’s neighboring cities.
The cost of living annually in Moline
also dropped $719 annually from
2014 with a reduction in annual property taxes and annual income taxes
with minor increases to sewer and
sanitation fees; while Davenport and
Bettendorf saw hikes in their annual
income taxes since 2014.
Although the structure of the Quad
Cities make travel around the cities
quite simple to visit every city in one
single day due to the proximity of the
cities, do not be fooled to assume the
cost of living is the same for each city
as they differ to one another. Choos-
ing a place to live, and buy a home
is significantly different throughout the
local cities. Below is the 2014 study to
compare these costs to 2015.
