MidPort
Geraldine Road is now open to the public with all three phases built on
the industrial road. The new Johnstone Supply is now open, bringing added
jobs and opening up potential development area in downtown Waterloo at
their former site. A new 50,000 sq. ft. spec industrial building is beginning
construction just south of the Kinzler building on Geraldine Road, opening
up new opportunities for business development and expansion in the area
as well.
Con Agra construction continues for their $60 million expansion, and the
missing link of the MidPort Boulevard roadway is now under contract for
construction as well. These projects will open up additional industrial lots
for development and provide additional land for Con Agra to continue
to invest in the Waterloo community, bringing over 55 new jobs to the
community.
Northeast
The City of Waterloo is working to plat land to expand the Northeast
Industrial Park. This will open up 8-10 new industrial lots for development,
as well as continue to expand the infrastructure network in this area for
heavy water and sewer users.
Twin City Tannery has gone from approximately 15 employees about five
years ago to over 60 employees at present.
Logan
With the recent passing of Muhammad Ali, boxing comes to mind. One of
the most famous boxing lines was "Down goes Frazier" by Howard Cosell
in the Foreman vs Frazier fight. Well, we have "down goes Logan Plaza,
down goes Logan Plaza, down goes Logan Plaza ! ! ! " as the dilapidated
structure comes down to make way for developer Ben Stroh to begin
construction soon on over $9.5 million in medical and retail redevelopment
on the site. This partnership with the City will have the ability for over 60
acres of new development in this area of the community.
KWWL now has extensive exterior work going on with their building along
the Franklin Street corridor. This $10 million project will also help anchor
more redevelopment of the Franklin Street area, as well as the Walnut
Neighborhood area for potential historic renovations.
Highway 63 design work continues as well, with design completions
underway to start work again in the spring of 2017.
Rath
The Rath area continues to see many smaller projects redevelop the empty
lots along Highway 218 with small business rnfill. These projects are an
excellent redevelopment of this area for a business — industrial park
type setting to provide easy access to the highway for businesses, and
employees in close proximity to the downtown Waterloo amenities for
restaurants, residential units to rent, etc.

San Marnan
The City of Waterloo continues to acquire land and go through the
State Certified Site process for the South Waterloo Business Park. This
area gives the City the ability to go after large statewide projects along
the Highway 20 corridor area.
VGM is under full construction for their 70,000 sq. ft. expansion project
that will give them the ability to add 250-300 new employees. The
Green Acres project is also nearing completion and opening of their
53 million investment in the Wateiloo community of a new 100,000
sq. ft. indoor storage facility. As a part of both of these projects, the
City of Waterloo took the opportunity to expand roadway and sewer
infrastructure where it makes economic sense for additional lot
development future development of nearby lots, and for continued
growth and development of the business park atmosphere.
Housing
The City of Waterloo had its highest single month of single family
homes being built this year with 25 new homes in March 2016.
This figure is indicative of the tremendous amount of new housing
areas we have under construction. Besides all of the numerous new
subdivisions being platted (Island West, Prairie Meadows, Crossroads
Estates, Nottingham, Audubon) we also have construction starting on
some multifamily units near the Kimball and Ridgeway area. Five new
12-plexes will be built this year in that area as well.
Downtown
At a highly visible location, the Grand Crossing is making a grand
entrance of Phase I of its multi -phase plans for the former Grand
Hotel site. Immediately to the northwest is the beginning of the
Green at Tech Works project which will bring a Marriot Hotel into the
former Deere building, as well as new restaurants, added investment
for bio and green business development in the Tech I building, and
many partnerships with UNI and Hawkeye Community College for
educational training.
Hawkeye Community College is continuing their investment in the
immediate area with the announcement of their new urban campus
on the former Bowl -In site as well. Single Speed is also continuing its
historic renovation of the former Wonder Bread Bakery site, with an
opening eyed in December.
Plans are underway for a robust series of downtown festivals and
concerts to attract visitors to the downtown area and to support
existing and emerging businesses in the City's central business district
This summer's programming includes a Latino Culture Festival, Irishfest,
My Waterloo Days, Stem & Stein (a food, beer & wine tasting event),
Friday'Loo events in Lincoln Park, a RiverLoop Rhythms concert series
at the RiverLoop Amphitheatre, a Sunday afternoon family performance
series, and live musical performances for the weekly downtown Farmers
Market at the Expo Plaza.
C
(Downtown continued)
Renovations in the 200 block of West 4th Street by JSA Development
recently wrapped up resulting in the opening of Basal Pizza as well
as additional prime new retail and loft/apartment spaces. Opening
celebrations were also held for Cedar Valley Makers Space on the
Techworks campus and The Hive, Waterloo Public Library's new
maker's space. A public art Project to develop a Lou Henry Hoover
Sculpture Park along the highway 218 corridor on the site of the
former First Lady's childhood home will wrap up this month.
And a new sport is corning to downtown Waterloo!
Beginning league play in August, a new Dekhockey facility will
open on the North Plaza of the RiverLoop Expo Plaza. This sport is
similar to hockey, but played on a special plastic outdoor sport court
eliminating the need for skates. Participation is affordable and the
game is simple, fun and can be played by all ages. This will be only
the second such complex located in the United States. The facility,
which also includes concessions and a pro shop, is expected to
draw thousands of players and spectators to downtown.
Crossroads
The entire Crossroads area is seeing smaller new restaurants
(Freddy's, Tokyo, Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle), financial buildings (Dupaco),
and small retail development occurring. With the At Home inclusion
in the mall itself, the opening of Lost Island Water Park, the new
residential construction up the hill, things will be hopping in the
entire area.
Airport
For the period of January through May, this five month period
reflected the best five month period for passenger travel from
Waterloo Regional Airport since 2006. American Airlines has now also
added an additional flight on Saturdays for the summer season travel
months of June -July -August.
Airfares frorn Waterloo are still very attractive when contrasting other
fares from Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Quad Cities, and other larger
regional and international airports especially when factoring in travel
to/from the airport, vehicle parking fees and the longer lines for
check -in and security screening.
Significant summer construction is planned, with the reconstruction
of Taxiway Charlie, Repair of a Joint on the Airport s Primary Runway
(Runway 12/30), and Repainting Runway 12/30, Runway 18/36
and various taxiways. A budget of just over $1.9 million has been
set to complete all elements of construction, pending the ability
of Congress to extend aviation legislation via the FAA's Airport
Improvement Program.
