Cedar Crossing Casino & Entertainment Center in Cedar Rapids is hosting a job fair on September 9th to fill approximately 350 positions ahead of its opening in mid-November, which is six weeks ahead of schedule. The facility, Linn County's first casino, will feature 700 slot machines, 22 table games, and various entertainment venues. The casino's development is expected to generate about $2 million annually in local property taxes and has committed 8% of its net adjusted gross revenue to nonprofits. The project prioritized local hiring and contractors, with 98% of construction contracts going to Iowa companies, a factor credited with helping advance the opening timeline.
