The Future of Sioux Falls’ Skies: The Push for the F-35

Currently, there is a coordinated effort between the South Dakota Air National Guard, the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce, the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and many other partners to make Sioux Falls the future site of the F-35 Lightning II fighter. For the past few decades, Sioux Falls has been home to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and we have enjoyed its presence in our skies during that time. However, the F-16 will begin being phased out over the next 10-15 years, and the F-35 is the clear replacement for our aging fighter wing here in Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, say hello to your new legislators. In Tuesday's midterm election, thousands of Sioux Falls-area voters came to the polls to decide who would represent their neighborhood in Pierre. Six local Senate races and one House race were already decided before the election for lack of other candidates, but 25 other legislative seats were up for grabs in the midterm election across 11 districts in the Sioux Falls area. More: Who's running for SD Legislature in the Sioux Falls metro area? Districts 2, 6, 16 and 25 remained fully red, and District 15 remained fully blue, while other districts saw some shifts to purple, and/or potential for recounts.
