![]() When you are in the Ped Mall in Downtown Iowa City or in NewBo in Downtown Cedar Rapids, you will find a large collection of locally owned restaurants, markets, quirky shops, restored theaters, wine bars, breweries, and live entertainment venues. So, this is all great-but what makes us truly special? Our culture. (Did I mention we are at the crossroads of Interstate 80 and 380?) Cereal production is something we are known for, so next time you eat that bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios or Captain Crunch Berries, know you are enjoying something made right here in ICR. Collins Aerospace, Quaker Oats, Oral B, Whirlpool, and many others enjoy access to our technical workforce and easy transportation systems. High tech manufacturing continues to thrive in our metro. We love to learn!īut education is just one component of our diverse economy. This industry permeates through our communities where weekly meetups are likely to include lectures by professors, authors, and international leaders. Leaders in this field include legacy companies like ACT and Pearson, as well as newer businesses like Leepfrog Technologies and Pear Deck. We love learning and have an economy built in part around educational technology and assessment. Iowa City-Cedar Rapids (ICR) is home to the University of Iowa private colleges including Coe, Mount Mercy, and Cornell and one of the best community colleges in the country, Kirkwood. ![]()
