PRO CPROCLAMATION
Whereas Seventy years ago,the ALUMINUM COMPANY OF AMERICA began operations
of its sheet and plant rolling mill known as The Davenport Works in an
unincorporated part of Scott County, an economic engine that would help drive
growth and economic prosperity in the region for generations; and
Whereas Shortly after ALCOA's Davenport Works fired up its furnaces and equipment to
produce coils, sheets and plates of high-grade aluminum that would help America
build a 21st Century future, the City of Riverdale was born; and
Whereas Together, The Davenport Works and the City of Riverdale enjoyed a strong
working partnership extending beyond just simple, civic engagement to include
partnerships on environmental to educational matters as well as developments
and expansions at the facility that have delivered and continue to produce
significant economic dividends for the Quad Cities; and
Whereas With the company's recent name change to ARCONIC,we, the Residents of
Riverdale see an optimistic vision of the future — one we share; then
Therefore be it resolved that I, Michael Bawden, Mayor of the City of Riverdale, do thank
the corporate leaders, managers and employees of ARCONIC for seven decades of
partnership and cooperation and do hereby proclaim September 15, 2018 as
ARCONIC DAY in Riverdale, Iowa
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
