progressive community located in the thriving Cedar Rapids/Iowa City
corridor. We have a diverse cultural and ethnic background. We have been
welcoming new citizens to our neighborhoods in record numbers. Our city has
undergone tremendous growth over the last ten years. Even with the influx of
new residents, the community has not forgotten its past. Many of the
historical buildings from our past are still standing in our historic
business district. We hope you enjoy browsing this site
