Cedar Rapids Courthouse Project Highlighted As Key Priority
The Ad ministration of the U S Courts spokeswoman calls the Cedar Rapids project singularly significant as budget talks stress substandard facilities. Mayor Lee Clancey backs funding seven and calls for continued lobbying to start the project, aiming to consolidate offices and improve safety at the current federal courthouse. U S Rep Jim Leach supports the effort, noting it as the district’s top project. The plan places the courthouse on the national priority list since a 1992 GSA study, with potential site at Eighth Avenue and Second Street SE.
