The City of Iowa City is seeking community input on the redevelopment of the vacant, City-owned lot located at 21 S. Linn Street. The City purchased the property to lead a mixed-use redevelopment through a Request for Proposals process and public-private partnership.

Residents are invited to share their experiences in the downtown area and their thoughts on the redevelopment project.

The City is offering several options for residents to submit feedback:

Online Survey: The survey at icgov.org/21SLinn is available in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Mandarin.
Email: Residents may e-mail comments in their preferred language to publicinput@iowa-city.org.
City Hall: Written comments can be mailed or dropped off to City Hall, c/o Economic Development, 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240.
Open House Sessions: Drop in on an open house input session anytime between 6-7:30pm on Monday, April 15, 2024, at the Iowa City Public Library, Meeting Room A or Tuesday, April 23, at the Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center.

In partnership with the Iowa City Downtown District, downtown visitors and pedestrians in the area of 21 S. Linn can also text “Hello, 21 S Linn” to 1-319-346-3443 to share their thoughts on the proposed project.

Residents are asked to submit feedback using one option by May 1, 2024. Resident feedback will be used to help the City understand what type of building uses and benefits are needed to meet the needs and desires of the community.
