Good morning, Jefferson City.

On Friday, tractors, boats, generators and other equipment donated by the federal government were displayed outside the 17000 square foot state warehouse just outside Jefferson City on scenic Route 179 — items are also available inside.

City officials say the Madison Street parking garage may be replaced with a smaller facility with fewer spaces—developers say the change will not affect parking availability.

United Airlines returned to Columbia Regional Airport on September 25 after a ribbon-cutting ceremony that highlighted regional cooperation and brought two daily flights to Chicago O’Hare and one to Denver with a $1-million federal grant—officials said the move will boost growth and partnerships.

Governor Mike Kehoe signed House Bill 1 into law today and the bill redraws Missouri’s congressional seats by shifting parts of Rep. Cleaver’s district into rural areas with fewer minority residents—this change comes ahead of the 2026 midterm election.

In her first year as executive director at the Jefferson City Nursing and Rehab Center, Sheila Barks-Distler said residents asked for a real Thanksgiving feast in November—she stressed that staff must treat them with the respect they deserve since they live there.

This request shows the residents' desire for better care during the festive season.
