Courthouse site swap outlined amid city plans and funding
The plan shifts the Courthouse project to a new Cedar Rapids site through a land swap with MidAmerican and 2001 Development Corp. The city pays no tax funds, relying on increased downtown property taxes and private landholding to secure development. Topi notes federal disposition of the old courthouse and potential National Register listing.
