Congresswoman Marianette Miller-Meeks made a visit to the Tulip City Wednesday morning, and was joined by fellow members of the U.S. House from across the nation.

Dan Newhouse of Washington state and Bill Johnson of Ohio joined Miller-Meeks and toured construction at the Prairie Ridge Housing Development in Pella.

Miller-Meeks says the stop was part of a listening tour across the country to see how regulation is impacting construction, especially with housing.

Newhouse says communitiles like Pella across the country are struggling to maintain enough housing stock to maintain large industry bases, and he’s hopeful Congress and state legislative bodies can ease regulations on construction materials to expedite the process.

This was the second stop for Miller-Meeks in Pella since she was elected to her first term in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District.
