Cedar Rapids development groups merge
The Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Priority One and the Downtown District announced the merger of the three organizations this week. The new Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance includes four councils that will shape strategy for the region: large investors, business support and innovation, community development, and economic development.  “We’ve seen the successful reorganization of other communities, including Des Moines, the Cedar Valley and Siouxland,” said Dee Baird, CEO of the new organization.  “Now is the time for the Cedar Rapids metro area to refocus and expand our economic development efforts.”
