Cedar Valley Humane Society stabilizes after a 2008 police probe and contract dispute with Marion. Donations fell, but volunteers are returning as the shelter improves procedures, funding, and animal care, aiming to expand capacity and renegotiate county contracts.
Cedar Rapids officials Linn County Public Health and the Cedar Valley Humane Society discuss three options for area animal-control. A joint city county facility, a county city contract, or a countywide agency with Cedar Valley Humane Society, to replace shelter lost in 2008 flood.
The Gazette surveyed 327 Cedar Rapids businesses that received 900 to 50000 in free rent for six months after the 2008 floods. About 87.5 percent remained in operation, either in the flood site or at new locations, while around 10 percent closed. The $5.2 million aid is part of roughly $20 million spent citywide to help businesses recover, with officials seeking more from HUD. Local leaders credited the program with stabilizing many firms and enabling a second generation of aid for working capital and debt relief.
The Cedar Rapids rental assistance program funded 2009 aid to flood affected businesses. Recipients included LeTellier at Corridor Co. Works and Five Seasons Paint & Drywall, with totals up to 50 000 dollars. Many tenants moved out after benefits ended. 172 of 905 flood related firms closed.
