The city of Dell Rapids had another strong year of growth in 2014. Over $6.5 million worth of improvements were started in 2014, which includes 15 new structures. City Administrator Justin Weiland presented the numbers to the city council during the council meeting on Monday, January 5th.
“Another great, positive growth year in 2014. 15 new structures across the community,” said Weiland. Weiland also mentioned that the $6.5 million was not quite the $9.4 million the city saw in 2013, but the city had several multimillion dollar projects such as the grocery store, Caseys, and Family Dollar in 2013.
The new Ace Hardware store is included in the 2014 numbers since the building permit request was made in 2014.
