Cedar Rapids council advances $71 million entertainment venue

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Cedar Rapids developers behind a $71 million transformation of long-vacant city land Tuesday touted a collaboration with the city that will result in a “destination” venue featuring a Big Grove Brewery, outdoor recreation space and potentially a hotel and entertainment center. The Cedar Rapids City Council unanimously approved a term sheet outlining the scope of the Kingston Landing project, a mixed-use development that is envisioned to be a quality-of-life amenity as well as a regional attraction.
