Nominate your cool company today!
CBJ's Coolest Places to Work awards honors local companies creating the most engaging and rewarding work environments. Self-nominated companies in Kirkwood’s seven-county region are selected based on a Worker Satisfaction Survey. Honorees will be recognized during the December 2024 event, at which point rankings will be revealed and the CEO from the Coolest of the Cool company will give remarks.

What is the CBJ?
The Corridor Business Journal covers news that is of interest, use and importance for anyone who does business in the growing Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Corridor. CBJ is not part of a chain. The newspaper is owned and operated independently by John and Aspen Lohman.
A portion of each issue is dedicated to one sector of the business community. Among many other focus issues, these topics range from diversity to small business, to politics & elections and banking. We also publish a host of supplemental materials.
