Cedar Rapids: Where to Site the New Library Debate

Link to July 23 Cedar Rapids Gazette article, "Disagreement emerges on where to put new library".

Excerpt: An intriguing debate is shaping up between the Cedar Rapids City Council and the library board over where to build a new public library.

The council is looking to buy low-lying land outside the 100-year flood plain for the possible construction of new city buildings near the core of downtown. The library board would prefer to put a new library on higher ground a little farther from the downtown core.

The final decision, though, rests with the City Council.
