	Early projects in Dubuque led to the rehabilitation of 60 historic projects, a federal funding investment into the city of more than $66 million, and a state investment of $75 million. These added, rather than reduced, the property tax base in Dubuque, created hundreds of jobs, and led to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional rehabilitation and investment.

Hagerty noted at the time that gaining such a distinction would assist the college in marketing itself and receiving grants and tax credits for qualifying buildings. (11) In 2018 Heritage Works in partnership with the [[DUBUQUE MUSEUM OF ART]] planned two urban renewal presentations as part of its ArchTREK series (12) Chris Miller with the help of Heritage Works discovered the "historic shell" of the Chadwick Building. Located at the the corner of West 1st Street, the building had been an aluminum-covered eyesore for nearly twenty years.
