From the Rapid City Journal:
A $500,000 federal grant will be used to hire a planning consultant to work with developers and communities around Ellsworth Air Force Base and fund efforts to develop technology-based economic development in the Black Hills.
Gov. Mike Rounds and the Moving Forward With Ellsworth Steering Committee on Monday announced receipt of the community economic diversification grant from the Office of Economic Adjustment, a division of the U.S. Department of Defense.
The grant is available to economies that are "defense dependent" and to communities experiencing growth of missions at their military installations. Ellsworth will become the new home of the Air Force Financial Services center, adding to challenges for community growth, according to a news release from the governor's office.
