A state commission has approved the license for a proposed casino in Cedar Rapids. The Iowa Gaming and Racing Commission this morning approved the license for the proposed Cedar Crossing Casino and Entertainment Center on a 4-1 vote. Project leaders told reporters after the meeting that they plan to break ground on the $275 million project on Friday. An attorney for the Riverside casino indicated a lawsuit will be filed challenging the commission’s decision saying the Linn County gambling referendum approved in 2021 was worded incorrectly and the casino application should not have been considered.
