FEMA and Cedar Rapids officials emerged from a closed meeting with smiles and pledges to move the public library relocation forward at a new Emerald Knights site with a $19.5 million funding offer. Mayor Corbett praised the mood as a return to cooperation plans for relocation away from the flood location. The Veterans Memorial Building boilers will be addressed outside the flooded basement, and First Street Parkade demolition may proceed, possibly in December. Santa Claus remains in an undisclosed location amid ongoing appeals over other projects including Sinclair plant, dam, and New Bohemia site funding questions.
