Cedar Rapids Revises Airport Plan With 11.5 Million Bond
Cedar Rapids council approves steps toward an 11.5 million bond to finance a 16.5 million airport terminal project scaled down from 22.6 million. Funding relies on an 8 percent airline ticket tax and an 11.4 million city bond with revenues to cover costs. An additional 1.2 million for architect engineering is drawn from airport revenues and a possible 5 million federal grant. Opening targeted for 1984 depends on federal aid and growing airport use. The plan emphasizes budget discipline and long term expansion funded by user revenue and bonds.
