First phase will add 120 housing units to site combining ag, residential uses
Dows Farm, Linn County’s first “agri-community,” is finally taking shape after crews broke ground Tuesday on the development that will combine agriculture and residential uses in one neighborhood.
The more than $75 million project from local developer Chad Pelley’s Twenty40 Building Concepts is on about 170 acres of county-owned land bordered by Mount Vernon Road on the south, Dows Road on the west and residential development on the northeast, near what is now called Wanatee Creek. Plans include new housing units, agricultural elements and other uses.
The whole site is about 485 acres total, with about 300 acres adjacent to county-owned Wanatee Park and the city of Cedar Rapids’ Gardner Golf Course that is planned for conservation and related uses.
