This week, we sit down with Scott Wilson, Executive Director of NewBo City Market, and Associate Director Nolan Henkle.

Scott brings fresh energy just three months into the role, while Nolan shares his longtime passion for the market and Cedar Rapids community. We talk about NewBo as an inclusive space where startups can grow and thrive, and the excitement building for spring and summer 2026.

Plus, the long-awaited NewBo expansion project is finally getting underway this spring. This conversation is full of hope and momentum.
