Texan embraces Cedar Rapids riverfront vision

CEDAR RAPIDS — After growing up in Houston, Texas, the Cedar River presented Cameron Hull with “a totally different type of water.” Hull saw the river for the first time in June when she visited Cedar Rapids to interview for the Bloomberg Harvard City Hall Fellowship, a two-year program that places fellows” in city halls across the country to tackle municipal issues. “Coming from Houston, it’s just a totally different type of water, Hull said. “Seeing the force and the power of the Cedar River and how a whole city could be built upon the river was so unique.” Hull, 30, has a lot more time to consider those differences now that she’s been selected as the city’s first Bloomberg Harvard fellow — a position dedicated solely to riverfront development. Two months in, Hull sat down with The Gazette to talk about her background and plans for the position. The interview has been edited for clarity and length.
