Construction boom continues with multiple projects in Cedar Rapids
The city’s building surge includes a $60 million water pollution plant delayed to summer 1979, I 380 work downtown, a $7 million Five Seasons Center due next January, and a range of new ventures from Collins Communications to Westdale Plaza. Local and out-of-town firms race to start offices, hotels, malls, and housing as environmental rules loom. Descriptions cover Brookfield area projects, hotel additions, and a 100,000 square foot warehouse, with ongoing questions about rail and pollution offsets amid tight financing.
