David Oman, executive director of The Environmental Project that is proposing the indoor rain forest, said Friday he hopes project board members choose a site during a March 29 meeting.
Three board members — former Maytag CEO Leonard Hadley of Cedar Rapids, Betsy Roe of Central College in Pella and former State Auditor Richard Johnson of Sheldahl — are reviewing submissions from seven groups.
The submissions
came from groups in Tiffin, Riverside, Coralville, Grinnell, Des Moines,
Pella and Dubuque.
