Grace proposal touted as best site for Cedar Rapids casino
Seckington argued City Hall expects annual casino revenue regardless of location. Grace’s site at the former Farmstead Foods plant near downtown offers the riverboat requirements and better river conditions. Grace contends state projections overestimate Cedar Rapids market, citing $72 million yearly gross versus a $104 million estimate, with $26 million drawn from Meskwaki spending. He urged absentee voting at three Cedar Rapids churches for Oct 26 and asked supporters to mobilize ten voters each.
