Sidney eyes land for research center and depot expansion
City of Sidney contemplates acquiring about 13 000 acres of usable property for agricultural research and commercial industrial development. It seeks EDA financing for a depot engineering study and FAA backing to extend the runway to 6400 feet at an estimated total cost of 383 000 dollars, including 95 000 state funds. The move hinges on federal support and the city cannot borrow. Air transport is seen as vital to attract industry to the Sioux property.
