Thursday, February 27, 2020
The new Redfield public school is the successful culmination of over two years of change, anticipation, construction, and excitement that has transformed an aging system into a bright, modern, and functional school for generations to come. On February 17, the new auditorium was dedicated in a public ceremony marking the completion of the last major piece of the near $20 million project. First-year superintendent George Seiler is adamant that the new facility couldn’t have been done without the support of the entire community. “It takes a lot of people to get a project like this off the ground,” said Seiler...

Meeting South Dakota’s Housing Needs
Monday, December 23, 2019
Affordable housing is a prerequisite for economic growth because it helps attract and retain workers. That’s why South Dakota has been working proactively to address the need for affordable housing in our state.
The South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA) administers programs to encourage the development of new housing and rehabilitation of existing housing stock. It has a number of financing options for developers, particularly for creating low income or workforce housing.
Developers looking to construct new housing or rehabilitate existing buildings can find more information and resources on the SDHDA website.
Continuing South Dakota’s Strong Ag Tradition
Monday, December 16, 2019
Agriculture has long been an economic driver in South Dakota. It remains our number one industry, with nearly $20 billion in annual economic impact.
More than 115,000 South Dakotans are farming, raising livestock or involved in related segments of production agriculture and its value-added industries such as ethanol plants and manufacturing farm machinery.
Simply put, ag is integral to economic development in South Dakota. The state intends to use our advantages and academic resources to innovate and overcome challenges in order to remain competitive and continue ag industry growth.
Shopping Local Benefits Our Economy
Monday, December 09, 2019
If more Americans made the effort to consciously buy from local businesses it would have a big impact on our economy. That’s because independent businesses return triple the amount of money to local economies as their chain store competitors.
Sure, it’s convenient to buy from online retailers like Amazon. But such mega companies do even less to support local economies (with the exception of using a delivery driver from the area).
That’s why we encourage Redfield residents to patronize local shops during the holiday season and all year round. This supports local entrepreneurs and boosts our local economy by keeping more mone...

Quality Rural Healthcare
Monday, December 02, 2019
Rural Americans face more challenges than their urban peers in accessing quality healthcare. Lack of specialized services in small towns means patients have to travel a long way to get the care they need. This can translate to unnecessary delays in care and diagnoses.
Our region is fortunate to have excellent care through the nonprofit Community Memorial Hospital and Redfield Clinic. It was designated as a critical access hospital in 2000.
A $6.2 million expansion and renovation project in 2009 further augmented healthcare services and facilities, adding 13 new inpatient rooms, two cardiac care rooms, two emergency rooms as well as ...
Bolstering Our Workforce
Monday, November 25, 2019
Attracting and retaining skilled labor is one of the key challenges faced by rural communities today. Continued economic growth relies on access to a pool of skilled workers.
South Dakota WINS (SDWINS) is an innovative and collaborative workforce development program that started in 2012. It brings partners from government, education and business together to strengthen the state’s workforce.
Through this initiative, the state is working to attract newcomers through the Dakota Roots program, which connects job seekers from out of state with local career opportunities.
SDWINS is also emphasizing high school career and academic planning. This includes internships with area businesses and caree...
Childcare is Crucial to the Economy
Monday, November 18, 2019
Access to affordable, quality child care is important for the economy. It increases parent participation in the workforce, which translates to economic growth. It also helps prepare children for school and eventual work.
In the last two years, Congress approved additional child care funding for the states. South Dakota had a $5.5 million increase, which gives the state an opportunity to enhance the quality and access of child care options for low-income families.
A recent study showed that the childcare industry has a $279 million impact on the state’s economy. Learn more about the economic impact of the child care industry o...
Redfield’s Historic Library
Monday, November 11, 2019
A Redfield reading club that formed at the turn of the nineteenth century provided the impetus for constructing a local library. The Redfield Carnegie Library was made possible by a $10,000 grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation in March 1902.
The funding paid for the majestic red brick building with its domed cupola and beautiful interior oak columns and woodwork. Recent upgrades to the library addressed accessibility and added a community room.
The Redfield Carnegie Library remains a town treasure. It contains more than 27,000 volumes, including best sellers, periodicals, audio books, videos and more. Keep up with the library and it...

Hunting Has an Economic Impact
Monday, October 21, 2019
Redfield is known as the “pheasant capital of the world.” Pheasant hunting has been a local tradition ever since that those initial birds were released in the first organized hunt 100 years ago in Spink County.
Pheasant hunting has grown to become a wonderful driver of tourism for the state. This popular pastime also has a substantial economic impact. It supports more than 4,000 jobs in South Dakota. And a study released in 2017 found that pheasant hunting generates $19.7 million in state and local tax revenues each year.
Learn more about how pheasant hunting and related activities contribute to a stron...

Growth in Manufacturing
Monday, October 07, 2019
Manufacturing has made a steady comeback since the Great Recession. A survey in the beginning of 2019 by the National Association of Manufacturers found nearly 92 percent of manufacturers were positive about their company’s outlook.
Evidence of this national growth trajectory can be found locally too. South Dakotans continue to manufacture a wide range of quality goods, from high-tech ag products to cutting edge electronic displays for sports stadiums around the world.
Rural areas of South Dakota like Redfield and Spink County have the incentives to support growth and innovation in manufacturing. Find out more.
