Throughout Iowa work continues on the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, and already the long-touted benefits are being felt from Lyon County to Lee County. From the beginning we’ve touted the benefits and supported its construction because of the good it will do for our state — and now, with the project more than three quarters of the way complete in Iowa — we continue to see the many benefits we have extolled over the past two years.
The over $1 billion private investment in Iowa alone is critical to modernizing Iowa’s energy transportation network already crossing the state in the form of pipelines, railways, powerlines, and waterways.
