Emergency Building expansion tied to federal funds and growth
The Emergency Management building could expand if federal funds arise. Kirkwood will donate land for the new facility attached to the environmental training center. The plan downsizes bomb proofing to the emergency portion with a standalone generator protected outside. Wright notes expansion possible if additional funds become available to support regional emergencies from Eastern Iowa. The project aims to move from Cedar Rapids City Hall to a new, rent-based, Kirkwood-owned building by 2004.
