Highway Commission Approves Five Star Annexation Move
The Iowa highway commission voted to seek annexation of state land south of Cedar Rapids to enable Five Star, Ltd. to develop a 55 acre tract. Opponents led by Richard Horak warned the plan could ruin rural character, while officials argued the action provides contiguous status for Five Star's property and city utilities. The proposal now faces Cedar Rapids city council deliberations.
