Cedar Rapids airport terminal watchdog named by chairman
Cedar Rapids resident Lester Petrak was appointed ad hoc project citizen watchdog at the airport commission meeting to scrutinize the proposed $18 million terminal project. Petrak questions population and revenue projections while airport officials defend the plan citing rising boarding and a forecast of up to 692000 passengers. The commission also approved land purchase reimbursements and parking rate increases as passenger traffic hits record levels.
