Ho Chunk Incorporated, the economic development company owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, is planning on more development in and around the Sioux City metro area in western Iowa. Ho Chunk C-E-O Lance Morgan says one of the projects is developing a 200 acre stretch of land on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River.


That project in South Sioux City, Nebraska is directly across from where the old John Morrell plant was located.

The company already owns some properties in Sioux City and is planning on building some more in the downtown area.


He says Ho Chunk is committed to investing around 100 million dollars in the various projects in the Tri-State metro area. Morgan says Ho Chunk’s revenues are expected to total around 270 million dollars in 2015.
