JACKLEY ANNOUNCES FRIDAY ECONOMIC FORUM
HARRISBURG, SD: Attorney General Marty Jackley will meet with community leaders and business owners from Sioux Falls, Harrisburg, Tea and the surrounding area on Friday to tour developing infrastructure projects in the southeast part of the state.
“This has been an issues-driven campaign from the start, and Friday’s tour will focus on building an economic vision that improves the daily lives of South Dakotans,” Jackley said. “I intend to be a ‘work with’ rather than a ‘work for’ governor, and I appreciate the business community coming together to host this important conversation.”
The discussion with mayors, commissioners and business leaders will cover infrastructure, housing, jobs, workforce development and a range of other economic topics.
“Having a governor that continues to understand the challenges and opportunities of economic development in South Dakota is important to us at Stockwell, and we look forward to Friday’s conversation with Marty,” said Jon Brown, President of Stockwell Engineers. “These really are issues that affect the daily life of people in the region and across the state.”

• 9:30 a.m. Meeting with Lloyd Companies senior leadership team
