Cedar Crossing Casino hearing draws local involvement in bids
The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission tours Cedar Crossing site and holds a 10 am public hearing with pep rally and bus tour planned. Backers cite $150 million impact on flood recovery while Riverside Casino & Golf Resort warns of job losses and reduced services if Cedar Crossing opens in Cedar Rapids. Opponents seek to block or modify the license before the April 17 decision in Council Bluffs.
