A district court judge is pondering the fate of a proposed Cedar Rapids casino project after attorneys for and against the $275 million development played their final hands Wednesday in court.
Attorneys for both sides made oral arguments in the culmination of a heated legal challenge to the planned Cedar Crossing Casino & Entertainment Center in Cedar Rapids from a Washington County competitor, Riverside Casino & Golf Resort.
After more than a decade of courting state regulators, backers of the Cedar Rapids casino finally won approval Feb. 6 after the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission voted 4-1 to approve a license for the Linn County Gaming Association.
