Cedar Rapids told to scale back flood-protection plans
December 28, 2009

The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted a cost/benefit analysis of the proposed flood protection system for the city, and found that it will cost more than it is expected to save, in dollar terms of damage. The analysis was conducted on a proposal to build floodwalls and levees to match the June 2008 record flood levels. A complete report from the Corps is due next December, which means that the city will face the 2010 flood season without the benefit of improved protection.
