QUALITY OF LIFE
The heart of everything that is. That's how people describe Western
South Dakota. And why not? Where else can you combine the nation's
best business climate with beauty and recreation beyond compare?
From a business perspective, it's hard to argue with the benefits
in South Dakota. We were rated the 10th most livable state in America.
We have the 7th lowest cost of living index. And we're the 7th
safest state in nation.
While people in more metropolitan areas spend hours of drive time,
the state average commute in South Dakota is 13.8 minutes. What
that means is more time for golfing, fishing, hiking, relaxing
with family or doing whatever it is that makes you happiest.
For the outdoor enthusiast, there is no better place to be than
Western South Dakota. Recreational opportunities are truly limited
only by your imagination. Outdoor lovers participate in everything
from hiking to fishing to rock climbing. If skiing is your thing,
our winters provide you with the opportunity to cross country or
downhill ski. In the summer, break out your skis and enjoy some
of the calmest waters around.
If you're more into cultural activities, Western South Dakota
has much to offer. This area of the state has played host to many
traveling theater groups, international dance troupes and national
powwow competitions.
Some say living in South Dakota is like a dream come true. We
work hard, we play hard. We make a profit, we keep that profit.
We have the time to do the things that are important to us … and
we think that's the way life is meant to be.
