Tammy Baldwin: “Our robust agriculture industry also helps keep our country safe, as food security is national security.”

But when truck drivers can't find a safe place to pull over and rest, it puts them and everyone else on the road at risk.

The Appleton International Airport plays a critical role for the Fox Valley economy – bringing visitors and tourism dollars into our communities, connecting local businesses to customers and markets, and supporting good-paying jobs.

That's why I am proud to bring home this investment that will give truck drivers more safe places to rest, help prevent accidents that clog up our highways and put folks in harm’s way, and make our roads safer for everyone who uses them.

But when aging infrastructure causes delays and disruptions, it hurts our businesses, costs them time and money, and makes it harder for them to compete.
