The City of Solon is located near Iowa City/Coralville and Cedar Rapids. From the 2000-2010 census, the City grew by 73%. Because of this high rate of growth, the City saw an extraordinary demand on housing, infrastructure, public amenities, and the transportation network. This fast-changing
environment resulted in City leaders’ desire to renew their comprehensive plan, which
hadn’t been updated since 2008.
The 2015 Solon Comprehensive Plan emphasizes nine priority areas in which the community seeks to focus future efforts: transportation, housing, land use, community services, infrastructure, downtown Solon, growth management, economic redevelopment, and quality of life.
