Greene Square Park Transforms Into Fire & Ice Festival Hub
Cedar Rapids prepares for the Fire & Ice Festival at Greene Square, the former Greene Square Park renovated at nearly 2 million dollars. Parks director Sven Leff said fencing is down and final spring work includes a 200000 dollar sculpture. Leff envisions a sunny, active park with people lounging and enjoying lunches, while city officials note the space feels larger.

They noted a projected $175 million revenue gain next year will be consumed by Medicaid, property relief, and a teacher program, keeping tax cuts unlikely. Governor Branstad defended the Medicaid transition as deliberate and necessary despite concerns.
