CEDAR RAPIDS — Kingston Village, on the west bank of the Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, is nigh unrecognizable compared to what it looked like just five years ago.The district has undergone a makeover since city officials formally delineated its boundaries in June 2013 — ranging north to south from Interstate 380/First Avenue West to Eighth Avenue SW; and east to west from the river to Sixth Street SW.What once was a smattering of empty, flood-ravaged properties will have seen at least $86 million invested in 16 developments between 2014 and 2020 when some of the projects will be completed.Those figures are poised to grow in the coming years, once Cedar Rapids officials agree on a plan for the 8 open acres reserved for a casino that state regulators turned down twice in four years.City officials listed development of that vacant land as No.
