The Sioux Gateway Airport is home to a Federal Aviation Administration flight tower and supports a significant number of commercial and corporate hangars as well. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration will help fund the new 39,400-square-foot aviation center, complete with a fully accredited flight school, two hangar bays and two stories of office/training space. The $1 million grant it has received from the U.S. Recently, the Sioux City community came to together to leverage that experience and infrastructure to make a bid for federal grant money, an investment that would help them build a $7 million to $9 million hangar facility on city-owned land at Sioux Gateway Airport. With a well-maintained airport and runway-dating all the way back to World War II-along with a Federal Aviation Administration flight tower and the presence of the 185th Air Refueling Wing of the Iowa Air National Guard, this community knows a thing or two about the aviation industry.
