(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- It's full steam ahead for the Cedar Crossing Casino.
In a social media post, Cedar Rapids Mayor Tiffany O'Donnell says Riverside Casino is not going to appeal a court decision rejecting their challenge to stop the project.
Riverside Casino owners filed a lawsuit claiming language in a 2021 referendum on gaming was misleading and therefore the Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission had no grounds to grant the license.
The $275-million gaming and entertainment complex is scheduled to open New Year's Eve of next year.
