MOLINE CENTRE PROGRAM

Many people know Moline Centre as a geographic location - a historic downtown business district offering arts & entertainment, dining and nightlife, hotels, shopping and services, and urban living.  However, Moline Centre is also a program – the Moline Centre Program - and all businesses in this historic, vibrant, downtown business district can be part of the Moline Centre Program. 

There is no out-of-pocket cost to participate in the Moline Centre Program – all merchants (property and business owners) within the program area can participate. See the Moline Centre Program Map HERE.
