Cedar Rapids to acquire former Terex land for redevelopmen
The city plans a brownfield cleanup south of downtown Cedar Rapids after Terex donates land to St. Wenceslaus Church and the church passes it to the city. Cedar Rapids will repay $450,000 to the state for a past Cedarapids Inc. job-creation grant. The site may become a park or mixed use, but not industrial, with public funds justified to revive the area.
