Iowa's Fast-Growing City Is A Charming Midwestern Escape With Outdoor Fun And Local Sweet Treats
Iowa is known for its cornfields, massive state fair, and presidential caucuses every 4 years, as well as a literary-themed rest-stop off Interstate 80 that pays homage to Iowa's most famous writers. While it's sometimes overlooked in favor of lakefront Midwestern destinations, there are plenty of stops worth visiting in the Hawkeye State, including Tiffin, a small community just south of Cedar Rapids. Although it's home to just 7,659 people according to World Population Review, it's growing at a steady rate — about 66% since 2020, in fact — and the population is projected to skyrocket to over 12,000 people within the next few years, per Iowa City Press-Citizen. In other words, it's by far the fastest growing community in Johnson County, Iowa.

Marengo agrees to pay $5,700 to settle zoning dispute
MARENGO — The Marengo City Council approved a settlement with Kristen Miller, of 344 W Lucas Street last month after she objected to a zoning change for property next door. Miller’s property adjoins 1403 Lafayette Avenue owned by Marengo Memorial Hospital operating under the name Compass Memorial Healthcare. Compass was not involved in the settlement. Miller and her attorney, Jeff Taylor, first addressed the city council Nov. 26, 2025 after the city, according to Taylor, didn’t respond to a notice of appeal filed on Miller’s behalf Nov. 10. Miller objected to a parking lot constructed by Compass Memorial Healthcare on the adjacent property at the corner of West Lucas Street and Lafayette Avenue. Both Miller’s property and the hospital’s property are zoned residential, Taylor said. A special use was approved by the zoning board, but the permit is supposed to go before the board of adjustment, which it didn’t, said Taylor.
