The Pella Area Development Corporation did well during its trip to Washington D.C. last week. That’s what Karen Eischen, Director of the Pella Chamber of Commerce tells KNIA/KRLS News. She says that the meeting with legislators went well, in part because the PADCO group wasn’t seeking funding for projects, but rather political support. KNIA/KRLS News spoke with Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley shortly after he met with PADCO. He said that he supports the regional airport project.
