Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Cedar Rapids /ˈsiːdər ˈræpɨdz/ is the second largest city in Iowa and is the county seat of Linn County. The city lies on both banks of the Cedar River, 20 miles (32 km) north of Iowa City and 100 miles (160 km) east of Des Moines, the state's capital and largest city. Until massive flooding in 2008, the city's government was headquartered in the Veterans Memorial Building, near the Linn County Courthouse and jail on Mays Island in the Cedar River; Cedar Rapids was one of a few cities in the world, along with Paris, France, with governmental offices on a municipal island.
A flourishing center for arts and culture in Eastern Iowa, the city is home to the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, the Paramount Theatre, Theatre Cedar Rapids, the African-American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa, and the Iowa Cultural Corridor Alliance. Cedar Rapids is an economic hub of the state, located in the core of the Interstate 380 Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Technology Corridor of Linn, Benton, Jones, Johnson, and Washington counties. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city population was 126,326.

County Supervisors Tour U.S. Federal Courthouse in Cedar Rapids
Gazette Reporter Adam Belz talks about members of the Linn County Board of Supervisors, who toured the U.S. Federal Courthouse building in Cedar Rapids on Thursday, Mar. 19, 2009. The County may be looking for a new home for the juvenile courts, and is considering the abandoned courthouse as a permanent solution. The building, which is currently owned by GSA, will eventually become property of the City of Cedar Rapids, at which point the County could invest in it.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa
In 2008 we went through a horrible flood. Then the powers that be made us wait ten days before we could return to our homes. When we did the whole area smelled horrific. The smell is something I will never ever forget. After we returned to our homes and cleaned them out the city created zones and told people that they couldn't return to their homes if they lived in a zone that they wanted to use for flood protection THEY LIED. They told us that the United States Army Corps of Engineers needed our houses gone to make way for flood protection (its in the article posted above by the Gazette).
It will be different living in the middle of a park without a bunch of neighbors but I can live with it. What I couldn't live with is my historical house being torn down for NO REASON AT ALL! The Army Corps of Engineers uses a cost to benefit ratio to calculate the feasibility of implementing flood protection and since the property is gone so is the help from the USACOE! Don't blame the USACOE it was the city that declared the arbitrary zones not the United States Arny Corps of Engineers! Don't believe me? Call them and ask yourself!
Did you own a house in the flood zone? Were you told you must sell so that the United States Army Corps of Engineers could build flood protection? If so let me know so I can hook you up with a lawyer.
I miss my neighbors but I don't miss the parking problems I used to have and I don't miss the drama!
Too bad a lot of people got rich off this disaster (and it wasn't the homeowners!!!)

Cedar Rapids Still Hoping for a Casino
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28)--Back in April the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission shut down the idea of a casino in Cedar Rapids.
Now, months later, city leaders are still working on bringing that plan to fruition.
City officials had a five year deal with the local investors of Cedar Crossing Casino.
On Tuesday they added two more years to that deal, a sign that they haven't given up on the dream.
While it had some dissenters, many in Cedar Rapids welcomed the idea having a casino in town.
I was excited. Not because I gamble. I don't gamble at all but because of the tax benefits, also the jobs, said Jeremie Collins, Cedar Rapids resident.
What really convinced me that it could be a good thing is that the money from Cedar Rapids people that are currently going to other Casinos could be benefitting our city here, said another resident Jill Helling, but the racing and gaming commission voted no.
It was certainly a set back with the Racing and Gaming Commission earlier this year and then they rubbed salt in the wound by giving a casino to Green County, said Mayor Ron Corbett.
City officials are not giving up. They've extended an exclusivity agreement to continue working with the Cedar Crossing Casino investors.
We're just going to add a couple more years to let the investor group know that we're in this as your partner, he said.
Leaders say they are hoping the appointment of new gaming commissioners in the coming year will mean another shot at a license.
They are also working to introduce and pass gaming reform legislation at the statehouse.
We're going to push for a special category of license, that being a non-smoking license, he said.
Mayor Corbett says the fact that there's no other non-smoking casino in Iowa might be enough for them to get that license.
It's probably a long shot in the legislature but we still think it's worth pursuing and want to fight for Cedar Rapids.
Mayor Corbett says the city owns the property the casino was to be built in and can decide to sell anytime.
Tuesday's extension is simply for partnership.

According to an article in the New York Times, the city thrives largely on its abundance of start-up companies.[27] Members of the community have established over 400 businesses in areas such as software, manufacturing, and trading.[28] The Agri-Industrial Products company was founded in 1978 and became one of the nation's largest manufacturers of construction warning barrels and other products made of plastic.[27] The city is also home to Creative Edge, a ceramic tile manufacturer.[29]
In 1990, Iowa Governor, Terry Branstad, called the city one of the state's economic superstars.[30] A 1997 report said the city had a significant number of entrepreneur businesses including a tofu company, several software firms, a chimney supplies wholesaler, wholefoods grocery store, an oil brokerage, and a telecommunications company.[31] These new companies were reported in 1999 to have created up to 1,500 jobs in high tech businesses ranging from telecommunications companies to Internet providers to PC-oriented magazines.[32] Later, the city was dubbed Silicorn Valley because of the preponderance of new businesses that were Internet and information based founded by practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation technique.[27][32]
In the 1990s, Fairfield had an average of $10 million in new construction each year. Some of the construction was in the Maharishi Sthapatya Veda style of architecture[33][34] and included entrances that face either due east or due north[35] causing some businesses and homeowners to close their south and west facing entrances.[36] Eco friendly, subdivisions that border Fairfield and also use the architectural principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda include Cypress Villages, a 145-acre (0.59 km2) development north of the city, and Abundance Ecovillage, an off-the-grid community of 14 homes built in three clusters,[37] north of Fairfield. The first LEED Platinum home in the state of Iowa was built nearby in the Cypress Villages Subdivision. Cypress Villages applied to the state for incorporation as it could not be annexed into either Fairfield or Maharishi Vedic City. That request was denied until such time as more services could be offered by the community.[38][39][40][41][42][43][44] In addition, nearby Maharishi Vedic City, located two miles (3 km) north of Fairfield, began as a subdivision and incorporated as a city in 2001.[45] The city sponsors an annual Eco-Fair and has more solar energy homes and green building than any other city in Iowa.[46]
In 2003 a report by the National Center for Small Communities selected Fairfield as a recipient of The Grassroots Rural Entrepreneurship Award, saying that the city has become recognized as one the nation’s most entrepreneurial small towns. The report said that Fairfield had created over 2,000 jobs in the previous 15 years and that new construction averages $10 million per year.[47] That same year it received the Community Vitality Center's Entrepreneurial Community of the Year award.[48] According to City officials, Fairfield received investments of over $200 million in venture capital from approximately 1990 to 2004.[49] A 2004 National Public Radio report said that over the past 20 years TM proponents had created thousands of jobs and more than 200 businesses.[33]
