Community Development facilitates development opportunities and regional planning strategies that maintain and enhance the quality of life to ensure physical, economic, and social benefits for Cedar Rapids. Community Development assists and advises the City Council, City Boards and Commissions, and the general public on various planning issues related to land development, long-range planning, economic development, neighborhood planning, and housing. Community Development works with other City departments, developers, and other governmental bodies to encourage orderly growth and redevelopment while preserving a quality living environment for the City’s residents, property owners, and visitors.
