Cedar Rapids backs plan for new casino license
Peninsula Pacific Entertainment and Linn County Gaming Association say they will jointly apply for an Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission license after a two year moratorium ends. The Cedar Crossing plan proposes a $250 million, 160000 square foot complex on the former Cooper’s Mill site, potentially making Cedar Rapids Iowa’s second-largest casino market. Regulators previously blocked Cedar Rapids licenses over regional impact concerns.
