I will be the first to say I think this project is wonderful, and I don’t give a flying monkey who gets credit. It will be a shot in the arm for jobs in Sioux Falls and the region, and a perfect location for the project.
But while this project was in the works for 3 years, why so many secrets?
“I can’t believe they didn’t tell us.” Homeowner Angie Mulder sighed, exasperatedly.
So while land sale deals were being done, state, city and development organizations were wheeling and dealing, no one thought it would have been a good idea to clue people in?
So while the officials involved took their sweet ass time working on this (I heard it was closer to five years) they now are expecting the Sioux Falls City Council to make a decision on annexation as soon as June 9, a decision that would ultimately cost us millions in infrastructure costs for years to come.
What’s the rush?
I highly suggest and recommend the city council studies the annexation proposal thoroughly before making a decision.
