Transportation Network* US HIGHWAY 20 - One of the basic building blocks of economic growth is not just good transportation, but excellent transportation systems. Economic growth in Iowa means increased jobs, population, schools, tax base, and the basic wealth of Iowa's people. Economic growth means decreases in the costs of welfare and crime. The economy of northern Iowa historically has been an important contributor to the state's economic well-being. Continuing the economic growth of and turning around the population decline of western Iowa is important to the entire state. The investment in bringing US Highway 20 to full four-lane service across the entire state is an issue of great economic importance to all of Iowa and certainly to the thousands of businesses and hundreds of communities in northern Iowa.
