10 years ago, 2013 — The Custer City Council voted animously to allow the use of Pageant Hill for a concert to be held Saturday, July 5, after listening to a proposal about a possible concert by local pastor and music enthusiast Van Arp. Arp presented each member of the council with an outline of the steps that would need to be taken to bring a concert here. Arp figured bringing a name act to Pageant Hill would cost around $20,000, which he said would be raised through donations, sponsorships, fundraisers and ticket sales.

Drop in building permits points to stagnation in housing market

Published by admin on Wed, 10/11/2023 - 2:34pm

South Dakota’s housing market is showing signs of stagnation, with a sharp dip in building permits revealing a reluctance of potential buyers to construct new homes.
Building permits issued in South Dakota in the second quarter of 2023 were down 37 percent from the previous year, said Aaron Scholl, assistant professor of economics at Northern State University in Aberdeen. That’s more than twice the amount of downturn reported nationally (15.1 percent) and reflects a sharp turn from South Dakota’s building boom of 2020-22.
