City administrator says Colony family may donate 20 acres to University of Iowa for camps and raptor center
Summary
City Administrator Kelly Hayworth told the council the Colony family may donate about 20 acres near the Colony Natural Recreation Area to the University of Iowa to host camps and a raptor center, enabling shared buildings and restrooms between the city and university.
City Administrator Kelly Hayworth told the Coralville City Council that the Colony family may donate roughly 20 acres in the area of the Colony Natural Recreation Area to the University of Iowa for a new home for camps and a raptor center.
"This would allow the City and UI to share buildings and not duplicate services, which would include shared buildings and restrooms," Hayworth said, describing the potential arrangement. Hayworth presented the possibility as an informational update; no formal proposal, agreement, or vote was recorded during the work session.
Council members were informed of the potential donation as part of the administrator's report. Further details — including any draft agreement terms, a proposed timeline, or funding responsibilities for construction and ongoing operations — were not provided in the meeting record and remain to be developed if the parties pursue the donation.
