Cedar Rapids neighborhood counts down to casino opening in November, city wraps up street projects
Summary
The Cedar Crossing Casino in Cedar Rapids is set to open in mid-November, earlier than initially planned for New Year's Eve. Road construction near the casino, particularly in the F Avenue NW area, is scheduled to finish about a week before the opening. City construction engineering manager Taylor Burgin highlighted collaboration with flood control efforts and a $25 million federal grant for a future flood management project. Inside the casino, artist Ali Hval is installing murals inspired by Czech culture and Art Nouveau. Nearby businesses like Double Z Bar and Grill expect increased traffic and view the casino as an opportunity for collaboration.
