The first of many phases to the athletics department's CYtown development at the Iowa State Center is progressing this spring. Crews have removed most of the east half (C and D lots) of the parking block south of Hilton Coliseum. By fall semester's start, they'll install underground utilities to support future CYTown facilities, install new lighting and resurface the lots, which will be raised as an Ioway Creek flood mitigation strategy.
