Cedar Rapids and Waterloo faced flood risks and responses in 1965 1967

A Gazette report recounts how Cedar Rapids officials doubted Corps flood projections after the 1965 Mississippi flood but later built dikes gates and river adjustments. Waterloo implemented a 1972 1991 flood-control program funded by federal and local money, constructing 18.2 miles of levee and 1.9 miles of concrete flood wall, with ongoing maintenance costs. The piece contrasts upriver and downstream actions and notes Cedar Rapids planned another Corps study.
