NDP hearing shifts to review of Cedar Rapids program
A Cedar Rapids public hearing on the third year of the Neighborhood Development Program ran about an hour and ten minutes. Much of the session covered general criticisms of the program and how it is run, with specific questions on property acquisitions and delayed rehabilitation in areas tied to the Cedar Rapids Marion expressway. Local officials defended outreach and progress, while citizens pressed for clearer communication, stronger pollution controls, and faster demolition of abandoned houses. The plan faces final reviews by the planning commission and city council before HUD submission.
