Cedar Rapids OKs 11.5 Million Airport Bond Issue
Cedar Rapids City Council unanimously approves issuing 11.5 million dollars in general obligation bonds to fund a new terminal and possibly the air cargo building under construction. The Airport Commission seeks 5.6 million dollars in ADAP aid to pair with bonds, with bids on the bonds to open December 7 at 1 p.m. The plan faces objections from resident Lester Petrak, who urged bid reviews and potential resignations at the commission. The terminal project is budgeted around 17.7 million total, with completion anticipated before January 1.

Current setup splits costs with Indian Creek Nature Center, with concerns over control and funding amid a $25 800 first year cost proposal and staff availability. Patterson notes the center already employs three naturalists and could adapt with county support.
