Cargill Expands Land Use in Cedar Rapids Flats
In Cedar Rapids Flats, Cargill owns most land and has a no-cost 20 year lease with option to buy. Since the 2016 flood the company piled gravel and dirt on residential lots, blocking streets and leaving few homes intact. City engineers call the scene a flood era anomaly while noting the company employs many locals and maintains access via limited routes.
