Monica Vernon of Cedar Rapids announced Thursday she is stepping down as executive director of The District: Czech Village and New Bohemia to spend more time with her family. But she will continue as administrator of the self-taxing district that pays for improvements in the district.
A site in the New Bohemia District that has languished for years after the 2008 flood soon will be transformed with commercial space and 34 housing units.
