Signs of Progress
Celebrating progress in our community.
The Signs of Progress project focus is to illustrate the flood recovery and economic development project progress accomplished to date. This collective resource will serve as a central hub for multiple audiences to receive information about new and existing projects- providing location, community investment, and status updates. More than 35 projects will be featured during the launch of the project, summarizing initiatives and overall funding towards project completion of $778,201,000.
• Project Maps will display geographical locations and the project summaries. A brochure with the map will be included as an abisert in the January 23 edition of The Gazette. Additional hard copies of the map will be distributed in various high traffic locations including the Cedar Rapids Downtown District, offices within the City of Cedar Rapids and Linn County, the Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce, Cedar Rapids Convention and Visitors Bureau. A listing of all projects and site map may be found at the Signs of Progress website www.SignsOfProgressCR.com
• Physical Signs with the SOP emblem will be installed by February 13 throughout the Cedar Rapids area to highlight projects cited on the map. Upon installation patrons will be able to follow the Map and tour various project sites. Physical signs will continue to be installed as projects progress.
