Dual Use Facility Frequently Asked Questions

What or why is this project happening?
•  The City is working with CSL International to conduct a feasibility study for a dual-use intergenerational center and sports facility in Cedar Rapids. The project is one of the action steps identified as part of the Age-Friendly Action Plan adopted in 2022, as a way to bring together residents of all ages and abilities for healthy activities and social connectedness. The study and is anticipated to be completed by September. A survey to gain broad public input is available online through June 6. We want to hear from you! 

What is a feasibility study?
•  A feasibility study is not a final decision or definitive indication that this project will occur. It is a study of the community and market to see if something like this would be possible and/or make sense in Cedar Rapids based on many factors that will be studied. Public outreach is a major component of the study and that is why we need you to participate.

Who is paying for this?/Where will it be built/What amenities will it include?
•  These questions are all a part of what the study will uncover based on feedback and the market study.

What is the timeline for this?
•  The deadline to complete the survey is June 6. Data will be compiled, and we anticipate that findings and recommendations will be available in August. The timeline to build a facility is inconclusive and depends on the results of the survey, market study and City priorities. 

How can I help or get involved?
•  The most important thing you can do is share the survey and spread the word. The more people that take the survey, the better our data will be for the study.
