Hiawatha limits share of Blairs Ferry road project costs
The Hiawatha City Council set its portion of the 3.28 million Blairs Ferry Road reconstruction at about 453 000 dollars with federal funds covering roughly 2.4 million. Cedar Rapids and Linn County join in financing. Project costs may rise due to rock and soil stabilization east of North Pine Drive. If no pacted agreement with Cedar Rapids, the project could fail.
