Investing in communities across Nebraska

Now that Congress has adjourned for its August work period, I’m doing what I enjoy most — get out and travel across our great state. Last week alone brought meetings with local officials, small business owners, volunteers, veterans, first responders, and healthcare leaders.

The week began with an inspiring day in North Platte, where a new airport terminal and a planned tribute to the North Platte Canteen showed what’s possible when we invest in our communities.

Completed in just two years, the new terminal at North Platte Regional Airport is the product of local, state, and federal collaboration. I was proud to help secure $17 million to fund the project and bring taxpayer dollars back home to Nebraska.
