County Supervisors reject Cedar Rapids airport zoning request
The Iowa County Board of Supervisors again refused the Cedar Rapids Airport Commission plan to curb 20 story structures in a small northeast county area. The ordinance would set a 1,965 foot height cap near flight paths, though FAA guidance is not mandatory. The board, led by Ed Shima, opposes zoning, citing farmers and local autonomy, while airport managers expect a court-ordered resolution.
