Home Depot plan to load at east site head to council vote
Marion City Council members hear that Home Depot aims to move the loading dock to the east side of the site near Target. Richey says Cedar Rapids market remains key and the company will pursue alternatives if the Cedar Rapids site fails. The Cedar Rapids store will be 96 000 square feet with an 18 700 square foot garden center and create 160 to 180 jobs.
