Cedar Rapids has faced repeated flooding over the past 20 years, prompting major investments in flood resilience and stormwater management. HR Green, Inc. has played a key role in these efforts through both the city's comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan and the west-side flood control system. This presentation, led by Water Resources Engineer Kate Barnes, highlights the transformation of a traditional detention basin concept into a vibrant, multi-benefit site that combines flood storage, habitat restoration, and community connectivity. The project illustrates Iowa's shift from detention-focused design toward integrated, ecological, and community-centered stormwater solutions.
