State regulators to hear information on proposed Cedar Rapids casino
January 23rd, 2025 by Ric Hanson
(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission will get more input on a potential casino license for Linn County during their meeting in Jefferson today (Thursday). The Commission will hear a presentation from the two companies that performed studies on the state’s gambling market and how a new casino might impact the existing venues. It will be the first public discussion of the studies they received at the end of December.
The commissioners will also question the Cedar Rapids Development Group and the Linn County Gaming Association about their proposal for a casino on the Cedar River. These are the final steps before commissioners vote on whether to award the gambling license at a special meeting on February 6th.
