Cedar Rapids group seeks private funding for a city zoo
An informal Cedar Rapids group called the Cedar Rapids Zoo Committee discusses bringing a 700 scale zoo to the city. They plan to assess size and cost, seek private funding, and meet Sept. 23 at the Starlite Room. The effort aims to avoid taxes and follow past failed zoo efforts related to Bever Park and a wildlife park plan.
