St. Mary’s Catholic Church project hits snag in Iowa City

IOWA CITY — St. Mary’s Catholic Church has hit multiple roadblocks on its way to a multimillion-dollar construction project but is hoping for a green light from the Iowa City Council on Tuesday night. The church, at 228 E. Jefferson St., would like to tear down two church-owned houses — at 302 and 306 E. Jefferson St. — so it can build a new parish hall. The problem is the houses sit on a street that’s in a historic district. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission denied the request to proceed with the project in a 4-3 vote at its October meeting. The church plans to appeal that decision to the Iowa City Council on Tuesday. The Rev. Andrew Rauenbuehler said the church has been working on a long-term campus plan for well over a year. The church has been on the corner of Jefferson and Linn streets since the 1840s and has no plans to move but does want to build for the future. In the main church building, accessibility and functionality are challenges, with the church wanting to install main-level restrooms and expand the functionality of the parish hall downstairs. “The biggest project, and the one we have

After 15 years, Cedar Rapids casino bet pays off

CEDAR RAPIDS — The plot of land off Interstate 380 on the west bank of the Cedar River is not just home to Linn County’s first casino. It’s also where the vision started. It was 2011, and the Cooper’s Mill restaurant still occupied the riverfront site when early stakeholders met there for lunch to seriously discuss bringing a licensed gaming facility to Cedar Rapids. Steve Gray, one of the early and ongoing investors who attended the meeting, said the initial idea was to build the casino a few blocks away on the other side of I-380. But as time passed and Cooper’s Mill was demolished, investors turned their focus to the northwest site where the discussion had begun. “I don’t know if it’s irony or coincidence, but the casino sits in the same place (now) that we had our first real formal meeting about kicking off this project,” Gray said from a suede-back chair in the casino’s high stakes room. “Seeing it now, I get a little choked up.” Fifteen years later, that vision has come to fruition through the construction of the $275 million Cedar Crossing Casino & Entertainment Center at 777 Fourth St. NW. It opens to the
