“We are excited to offer the opportunity for Cedar Rapids residents to help select the new flag design. The flag is a symbol that will represent the community, so it’s important that the community feels a connection to the final design. I hope people will really embrace the new flag and we start to see it all over as a point of pride for the people of Cedar Rapids,” Ashley Vanorny said, Cedar Rapids City Council Member.
This project was put on hold last year due to the pandemic and derecho, but now to goal is to incorporate citizens input and ideas in creating the flag.
