Washington, D.C. and Sioux City, Iowa (RI) — The U.S. House Appropriations Committee has approved money in the 2027 fiscal year to help the 185th refueling wing in Sioux City.
Fourth District Congressman Randy Feenstra is one of the people who has been working for years to secure funding to improve the airport runway.
Feenstra says it has taken a long time to get the funding moving.
There is still work to do before the funding gets final approval.
The 185th runway funding was the top priority for the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, as they visited Washington, D.C. to speak with lawmakers.
