BRANDON, SD (KELO.COM) Ground has been broken in Brandon for 80-acre Rovang Industrial Park.
The new development park will have planned rail access, next to the Brandon and Corson development parks near the Interstate 90 interchange.
Commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Scott Stern, spoke at the groundbreaking.
“Brandon represents 10% of the acres in South Dakota’s Certified Ready Sites,” Stern said. “This community is committed to providing the land to grow our economy.”“This is Brandon’s sixth industrial development park,” said Dennis Olson, vice president of the Brandon Development Foundation. “Since 1983, we’ve added significantly to available industrial land in Brandon and now we have 320 acres in our parks. During that time, we’ve added 1,400 new jobs and increased assessable property by nearly $60 million.” Development of Phase 1 of the Rovang Industrial Park will begin this year.
