University Heights Community Fund

University Heights is in the process of starting a community fund. UH resident Chris Lizzie is challenging her neighbors and the community to contribute the $2,500 match necessary to establish a University Heights Community Fund.

The Johnson County city, bordered on all sides by the city of Iowa City, is unique because it is the only city in the state without a zip code. University Heights contracts all city services including water, sewer, library and bus services from its neighbor, the city of Iowa City. The U.S. Census estimates the 2006 population at nearly 900 residents.
