If there is no forest, what will be done with the land?

It has come to attention that Coralville may not in fact see a rain forest. If funds are not achieved, and the land is not secured, then the project may move elsewhere, after all, it is not a Coralville environmental project, but an Iowa environmental project. If there is no rain forest, than what will be done with the land? It is obvious that Coralville is going through many constructional changes whether the rain forest comes or not. The 1st Ave exit off of interstate I-80 is clearly being completely renovated whether for its own sake or to attract rain forest project officials, major changes are being made, and already have been made, in cooperation with this large rain forest idea. If the land is not used, what will become of it? More hotels? Will there be enough business in that area to benefit all of the new construction without the rain forest? How will the hotel do without the tourists that were hopefully expected for the project? Could the city of Coralville be in trouble if the project does not eventually go through?
These are some of the nervous questions locals have, which is one of the many reasons it is so important to understand the project and its future so that planning can be done. From Who-TV there was a story titled "Iowa's Rain Forest," that featured Councilor Lundell speaking about the fact that the city of Coralville need to think about other options for the land. If this is not done, we may have many angry business men who used to have businesses in the area, but were bought out for the project, and for others who have put energy into the idea.
