A site plan was approved for the Des Moines Skydivers at the most recent Board of Supervisors Meeting. The skydivers will be leasing three acres of land at the airport.

The club is planning on building a 50×50 foot clubhouse in 2023. The club is relocating from the town of Winterset to Knoxville. 

Knoxville Airport Manager Dan Van Donselaar says the club hopes to be operational in the spring. Van Donselaar said the club is currently awaiting the approval of building permits.
