Seniors housing developers compete for Global Award

trophyNEW YORK: The three hundred and eleventh entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.

A proposal to build a $32 million, four-story senior living center received a nod of support Tuesday from the Cedar Rapids City Council.

The council approved a resolution allowing staff from the city’s Community Development Department to further explore granting a tax break to the developers of the 164-unit Grand Living complex. The facility, which would be located at First Avenue and Collins Road SE — just south of Slumberland at 215 Collins Road SE — would employ 85 full-time workers and fill a void in senior living units in Cedar Rapids, according to city officials.
