Feenstra Leads Letter Supporting Military Construction Projects at the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) led the entire congressional delegations from both Iowa and South Dakota in urging the U.S. Air National Guard and the U.S. Department of Defense to support and fund vital military construction projects at the 185th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) in Sioux City, Iowa.
In part, the lawmakers urged that “the crucial Military Construction Projects requested by the 185th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) in Sioux City be considered for inclusion in the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) as they meet the design stage milestones required in the Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation.”
“The brave men and women who operate the 185th ARW reside in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The base and its nearly 1,000 Airmen, 300 of whom are full-time, are critical to the Tri-State region’s economic stability and provide area employers with a highly-skilled workforce. Our Tri-State Region is grateful for their service, and earlier this year, the Governors of all three states signed on to a letter…to support the needed investments in the 185th Air Refueling Wing,” the lawmakers continued.
