In South Dakota: Economy grows with regulation and initiative
June 26, 2017
As a South Dakota native and commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, I feel a real passion for watching businesses expand and our economy grow. Through prudent government and responsible regulation, we have maintained one of the best business climates in the nation, and there is truly no better place than South Dakota for companies to call home.
I’m proud to say that numerous businesses from across the world are doing just that.
In 2016, Royal Canin USA, a subsidiary of Mars, Inc., announced the construction of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in North Sioux City. The facility represents a $100 million investment. With operations on five continents, the company could have invested anywhere, but they chose South Dakota.
