It looks like Sioux Falls, SD, is also open for business.
The Rapid City Journal is reporting:
Building permits in South Dakota's largest city for the first five months of the year are more than double the amount at the same time last year.One wonders how much of this is due to "Minnesota" moving into Sioux Falls. It's hard for me to believe this is not a regional story, and there's not much "region" in the Sioux Falls area except for Minnesota, and a bit of Iowa, I suppose.
Non-residential construction was reported at $96.6 million, more than four times ahead of 2013.
"Non-residential," to me, suggests business and/or government buildings.
Like Fargo, ND, Sioux Falls is also on I-29, just west of Minnesota state line, and also benefits from two interstate highways, one running north-south, and one running east-west.
My hunch: the Sioux Falls story is as much about Minnesota as it is about South Dakota.
Now much of the non-residential construction dollars are part of the new $115 million events arena that just started in November I believe.

Oh, okay.
DeleteWhat a wonderful country we live in. I think of the tragedies in places like Syria and Egypt, and then think of all the things going on in this country.
Day in, day out, "things" are being built in this country, and improvements are being made. Thank you for this link.
