Keokuk city leaders are moving ahead with the next phase of their long‑term riverfront redevelopment plan, focusing on improving public access, expanding recreational space, and attracting new private investment along the Mississippi. The city is reviewing updated engineering concepts that include upgraded walking paths, improved lighting, and potential commercial pads for future restaurants or small retail. Officials say the goal is to transform the underused riverfront into a year‑round destination for residents and visitors. Public feedback sessions will be held later this month before the city finalizes design priorities for the 2026 construction season.
