Cargill faces local dispute over Flats land near Cedar Rapids
The article details Cargill's ownership of 34 nearby properties bought after the 2008 flood, its leases with the city for ten Flats parcels, and a plan to keep an earthen berm until the Sinclair levee is completed. Residents allege loss of control and press for a fair settlement, while city officials note the deal preserves green space and limits development until flood protection is in place.
