Coralville Advances Plan to Redevelop Area Near University of Iowa Campus

(Coralville, IA) -- A plan to redevelop an area of land on Coralville's east side near the University of Iowa campus is moving forward. Tuesday night the Coralville City Council passed a third reading to rezone 12 acres of land near 1st Avenue and 2nd Street so housing, retail businesses, and restaurants can be built. The city is getting some pushback however, as there are several businesses and housing developments already in that area. The project will need several more approvals before construction can begin.
