Just like the past 30 years, future development and facility upgrades at the Stanly County Airport will greatly depend on the influence of the N.C. Air National Guard.
As the Air Guard evolves, so does the county’s airport. The 145th Tactical Airlift of the Air National Guard (ANG) is transitioning its use of the C-130 to the C-17, both considered aircraft workhorses with the latter more powerful and versatile. ANG’s transition between aircraft will likely mean Stanly’s airport adapt with more upgrades to accommodate training with the C-17.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC), co-chair of the Pediatric Trauma Caucus and a leader on the Energy and Commerce’s Health Subcommittee, applauded President Donald Trump for signing the bipartisan Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research (STAR) Act (S. 292).
“America’s children are our future,” Hudson said. “And this is another important step to help deliver hope and cures to young patients and their families.”
A bipartisan bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump last week will provide more resources to find treatment and cures for childhood cancer.
The Childhood Cancer STAR Act is designed to help advance both research and treatments for pediatric cancer. “America’s children are our future, and this is another important step to help deliver hope and cures to young patients and their families,” said U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8th and a co-chairman of the congressional Pediatric Trauma Caucus.
