Cedar Rapids Gazette: Cargill passed the first test Thursday in its latest application to build a rail yard on vacant city-owned ground in the southeast neighborhood known as Rompot. The City Planning Commission was called on to recommend whether the proposed $6.5 million, 12-track, 200-rail car storage yard on 16.7 acres of a 27.7 acre lot south of Stewart Road SE fits the city’s future plans for the area and if the industrial use adjacent a residential neighborhood and the Prairie Park Fishery works from a land-use perspective.
