FAA approves land re designation for Cedar Rapids Super Park
The FAA approves changing 489.7 acres at Eastern Iowa Airport from aero nautical to non-aeronautical use enabling longer lease terms for Cedar Rapids Land and Air Super Park. Airport officials say this diversifies revenue and boosts development, with a privately owned parcel also set for mixed use. Debi Durham and Marty Lewis praised the move as a path to attract investment and achieve financial self sufficiency.
