Linn-Mar phases indoor activities center over SAVE funding shifts
State funding changes have led the Linn County district to adjust its planned facility project.
The Linn-Mar Community School District is phasing construction of its planned indoor activities center because of changes in state SAVE funding.
The district made the adjustment after reports surfaced in July 2026 about shifts in the funding formula.
For Cedar Rapids and Linn County families, the move means the full scope of the indoor facility will not be built at once, though no dollar figures or exact phase schedule have been released.
No board vote details or impacts on other district projects were confirmed in available reports.
