Knox

Throughout this past year, Congressman Space has fought to provide economic development not only for Knox County, but also for the entire region. Listed below you will find some of the projects that will make a significant impact on the lives of residents living in Knox County:

• Listening to the Concerns of Our Farmers – In February of last year, Congressman Space hosted a listening session in Howard to address the needs and concerns of local farmers.
• Learning about the State of Health Care – Last August, Congressman Space visited Knox Community Hospital on a hospital tour. He learned that rural, acute care hospitals often represent the only access to hospital care available to the entire county and face unique obstacles as a result.
• Fighting Cancer Through Local Care – Knox County Community Hospital has been awarded $268,000 Congressman Space requested to build a new cancer care center. This investment will ensure that cancer patients in the area can get the treatment they need without traveling for miles to get care.

Congressman Space pledges to continue working to ensure that the 18th District receives the support necessary to spur economic growth, maintain a functional infrastructure, and meet the needs of residents.
