Gregory Business & Industrial Development receives $5,000 Golden West economic development award

GREGORY – Gregory Business & Industrial Development received a $5,000 economic development award from Golden West Telecommunications on March 5.

The development group plans to use the money to help prepare lots with highway access for future development. Specifically, the money will pay for land surveys and plat plans for five lots along U.S. Highway 18, as well as the advertising of those lots for sale.

Golden West General Manager Denny Law said he wants the Golden West Economic Development Program to foster economic growth in rural South Dakota.

“Golden West is proud to be a partner with Gregory Business & Industrial Development and other similar groups across South Dakota in building strong rural communities,” said Law. “We know it takes dedicated, hard-working individuals to create true economic development. We hope that the Golden West funds make it a little easier for those folks to achieve their goals.”

Golden West Telecommunications has provided economic development grants to the communities it serves across South Dakota for the past 12 years.
