Cedar Rapids Palo draw annexation line over growth fears
Cedar Rapids and Palo plan an annexation boundary in unincorporated Linn County to curb future expansion. About 80 residents, many from Covington, urged council to oppose annexation, warning of higher taxes if joined Cedar Rapids. Officials say line guides orderly development and does not fast track annexation. Palo’s Monday hearing and Cedar Rapids’ next week vote expected. Palo Mayor Harris says compromise fair. Palo could grow to about 3,000 residents in 20 years but still stay beyond the line as now drawn.
