SIDNEY A presentation on improvements at the Sidney City Airport was given to Sidney City Council during its Monday evening meeting.
Public Works Director Jon Crusey provided a detailed report of slated projects listed within the Sidney City Airport’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 10-year airport capital improvement plan (ACIP) for 2021-25.
The current airport project is development of the west apron. The area has been excavated and the base is in, Crusey said, but the asphalt will not be laid until spring time when the weather warms up.

SFD offers to provide service to Houston Ambulance District
By Sheryl Roadcap - sroadcap@aimmediamidwest.com
SIDNEY The city of Sidney may soon be providing emergency ambulance service to the Houston Ambulance District for six months to help with its need due to lack of staffing, starting Jan. 1.
The Sidney City Council adopted legislation Monday evening for the city of Sidney to enter into a contract with the Houston Ambulance District after Fire Chief Chad Hollinger recommended to not extend Sidney’s mutual aid agreement with Houston past Dec. 31, 2020. The agreement is no longer effective because Houston has significant staffing issues and is unable to reciprocate mutual aid to Sidney.
