Meet Jennifer Smith, our Moline Centre Program Manager. Jennifer is putting Renew Moline’s mission into action by creating beloved places and events, connecting people and resources, and helping build a vibrant and healthy Moline.

Just look at what happened in the Historic Courtyard this year: 27 events - compared to just 7 last year.

Jennifer helped bring new energy to the Historic Courtyard with Move It Mondays, alternating between Dance FIIT and yoga, monthly Line Dance Fridays, and even a couple of bag tournaments.

These events do more than fill a calendar. They bring people downtown, create opportunities to connect, and help make Moline Centre a place where people want to gather and return.

And Jennifer is already looking ahead. She’s working on a new Moline Centre event, Witches Night Out! Want to learn more? Check out the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1114279090930263/?active_tab=discussion

We’re grateful for the energy and creativity Jennifer brings to Moline Centre and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

🏡 Welcome Home, Truman! 🔑
We’re excited to officially welcome Truman to the Washington Square Apartment community! Yesterday, we had the pleasure of handing over the keys to his new apartment as he begins this exciting new chapter.
When we asked Truman what attracted him to his new home, his answer was simple: “You can’t beat a short commute.” Being close to work was an important part of his decision and we understand the appeal of an easy commute!
He’s also especially looking forward to enjoying his new patio, which sounds like the perfect spot to unwind.
When he’s not working or enjoying his new home, Truman likes to spend his free time cooking, reading, and watching movies. Sounds like he’ll have plenty of ways to make himself right at home!
Welcome to the community, Truman! We’re so happy to have you here and wish you many happy moments in your new home.

Renew Moline is proud to announce the acquisition of Washington Square Apartments in downtown Moline!
Located at 316 17th Street, this remarkable late-19th-century building has a fascinating history and Renew Moline is excited to help preserve its future.
Originally built as five three-story town-home-style units at the direction of Charles Deere, Washington Square was designed by architect and builder Merton Yale Cady. Remarkably, its exterior has remained largely unchanged since it was constructed.
The building narrowly escaped demolition multiple times over the decades. Today, following a complete interior renovation in 2012, it provides 10 affordable housing units-five one-bedroom and five two-bedroom apartments.
There are currently two one-bedroom units available for tenants with incomes at or below 50% of Area Median Income (approximately $32,000 annually).
“Not only does the property provide much-needed affordable housing, but it is important to keep such assets in local ownership,” said Renew Moline Board Chairman Carrie O’Neill.
We’re grateful to the City of Moline and GROWTH Corporation for their support and trust as Renew Moline takes on the stewardship of this special property. We look forward to learning more about Washington Square’s history and celebrating its story with the community.
