The project was originally
set to be built in Coralville, but city leaders there and managers for
the Iowa Environmental Project haven't been able to agree on whether the
city should lease or give away the 22 acres of land the rainforest would
be built on. Right now Coralville is still in the running, but project
leaders are looking into other cities including Des Moines.
