Big decisions loom for Cedar Rapids library and City Hall
City planners weigh flood damage responses for Cedar Rapids Library and City Hall. A new library site between Seventh and Eighth streets SE could cost 37 million to rebuild on a flood-prone plot versus 45 million for a new site, with long term operating and insurance costs cited. In City Hall talks, officials consider restoring the Veterans Memorial Building or moving to a new City Services Center on May's Island, with opinions from developers, realtors, and mayoral candidates highlighting costs, common sense, and downtown vitality.
