A flowering crab tree in full bloom also vied for attention at the northeast corner of the All Seasons Building where the planter is located. Volunteers will water and maintain the planter’s contents throughout the season. The flowers were donated by Menard’s. Read More

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same is true of Pinnacle Prairie.
It’s about 780 acres. It has the potential for up to 1,500 dwelling units, equal to a tenth of the city’s households. It could hold commercial development worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
It’s been 10 years in the making. Only about one-third of the acreage has been developed. Some proposals were opposed by neighbors. Progress was slowed by the 2008 economic downturn.
But now a confluence of events, including the completion of a main thoroughfare through the area, could lead to an explosion of development. Read More
