CEO's Report
Jamie Seiner, CEO
|
Nothing shows our "South Dakota tough" like the March we had. Our patience is thin, our backs ache and there we are...in t-shirts on a 37-degree day because the sun is out. Optimistic for spring.
Optimism is shining bright at the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce in April. We are hitting the spring cleaning like that last storm hit us. Hard.
Cleaned the office. Check!
Revising the bylaws. Check!
Wrapping up the strategic plan. Check!
Renewing the Chamber's committees. Check!
Refreshed and focused, the Chamber's Board, staff and committees are making great headway in 2019. We want all our members and our community to feel the same way. I'm convinced the Chamber, a collective group of "South Dakota tough," can plow through the lulls many of our members have experienced this winter. We do this by encouraging each other - the community, our customers, our staff and our business or organization to be Loyal2Local.
Loyal2Local
is being self-sufficient like Michael H. Shuman, author of the book Going Local, describes, "Going local does not mean walling off the outside world. It means nurturing locally owned businesses which use local resources sustainably, employ local workers at decent wages and serve primarily local consumers. It means becoming more self-sufficient and less dependent on imports. Control moves from the boardrooms of distant corporations and back into the community where it belongs."
"South Dakota tough" is nurturing our local stores and service providers. It's putting on that optimistic t-shirt because the sun is out, even when things aren't exactly ideal.
Refresh and focus and encourage others to do the same. Join the Chamber and get involved for a bright 2019.

Pierre Mayor Steve Harding's Report |
Many initiatives the City has been working on for years are seeing exciting progress. We are restoring safe reliable commercial air service to Central South Dakota; we are moving forward with a plan to replace Pierre's nearly century old outdoor pool, and old City Hall is on the market. I'm excited to share the details on all of these efforts with you.
Airport
On April 3, United Airlines will make its inaugural flight to Pierre Regional Airport. The plane, operated by SkyWest, is scheduled to land at 1:34 p.m. To usher that first flight into Pierre in style, we are hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony. You're invited! It starts at 12:45 p.m. on April 3 at the terminal. We'll have refreshments and hear a few words from the airlines. I hope you can make it!
For years, we have been building our relationship with SkyWest. I'm so very happy those efforts are paying off and that we now have the nation's largest and most reliable regional air carrier serving Central South Dakota!
Outdoor Pool
I'm also very happy to report that the City Commission is moving forward with the Outdoor Pool Committee's plan to replace Pierre's current outdoor pool. Following four public meetings, and much positive input, the Commission has accepted the proposal. Construction is expected to begin in 2021. If all goes according to plan, Pierre will have a new outdoor pool by the summer of 2022.
The City is positioned to pay for the basic plan with existing revenue. Additional features, like a lazy river and water slides, will require private financial support. A capital campaign is in the works. More information on the campaign will be coming out soon. Details on the pool plan can be found at cityofpierre.org.
Old City Hall
Since staff moved into the new City Hall last summer, people have been wondering what would come of old City Hall. Well, we don't know that yet, but we're officially shopping for ideas.
In mid-March the City Commission voted to issue a Request for a Qualified Developer for the old City Hall lot. The request basically asks interested developers, contractors or investors to come forward with a plan to redevelop the site.
The City's goal is for the land to be turned into a sales-tax generating development that complements the businesses and services already available in Pierre. May 17 is the deadline for proposals. I'm excited to see what ideas are out there.
Pierre is moving forward! I hope you're as excited about the progress as I am.

Fort Pierre Mayor Gloria Hanson's Report |
So you want to live in South Dakota? Well, you'd better have courage and a sense of humor.
The recent two-day record snowstorm gave us another taste of just how tough and resilient we are. And if we are totally honest, we were more than a little envious of our friends and neighbors in warmer climates as we proudly posted selfies of the 7-8-9-foot snow piles on Facebook.
Having been raised on a ranch, and knowing March is calving time, my thoughts were with ranchers and their livestock while I snuggled under the blankets and listened to the raging wind. As I write this, it's the day after the storm, and reports are just beginning to come in. I hope people and animals alike found shelter to survive the wet snow and wind.
One thing about a blizzard, it brings out the neighborliness in people. My husband and I needed the help of our good neighbors during the storm, and as always, they responded immediately with compassion and good humor. We like to think we do the same when someone else needs help. Husband Ron certainly does his share with his tractor, scoop and snowblower.
The maintenance crew of the City of Fort Pierre went above and beyond during and after the storm. Most of them worked through the days and nights with little rest, even making the decision to keep plows running through the night to keep emergency routes open when State plows were pulled off.
The wet snow contained moisture that we didn't want or need, at a time when we are watching the snow pack and river ice melt. We have strong memories of the flood of 2011. It is comforting to me to know that the Corps of Engineers (and others) are watching the situation closely even as we hear reports of flooding in southeast South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa. According to the experts, as bad as that flooding is, it is helpful overall by removing and reducing the runoff potential early; thus, allowing the system to return to normal before the effects of the melting mountain snowpack are felt.
All things considered, mountain snowpack runoff into the system is predicted to be normal or maybe a bit above normal. And storage space in Lake Oahe sits at 13 feet below the top of the spillway, about double what it was in 2011. Pending any major rain events, Fort Pierre and Pierre can relax a bit, at least until the next surprise Mother Nature has up her sleeve. As always, we will continue to monitor the situation.
Happy Spring!

PEDCO Update
Jim Protexter,
Chief Operating Officer
|
Wheelhouse Joins PEDCO Board
Damon Wheelhouse has been nominated to replace Tiffany Sanderson on the PEDCO board of directors. Wheelhouse is an owner of Allied Plumbing & Heating in Pierre.
Sanderson began serving on the board in 2016 as a local expert in workforce development, particularly in the area of technical education. She will be transitioning to Gov. Noem's staff next month as a senior policy advisor, where she will continue to work on the state's economic and workforce development initiatives. Her resignation was tendered based on the need to avoid putting herself, the state or PEDCO in any situations where conflicts of interest may enter in.
Wheelhouse is a native of Pierre and will bring unique perspectives to the board, including that of a small business owner and one involved in technical trades. Welcome Damon!
PEDCO, GOED Make R&E Visits
PEDCO COO Jim Protexter recently teamed up with Governor's Office of Economic Development business development representative Kyle Peters for some Retention & Expansion visits to local businesses.
R&E visits, as their known, is a chance to learn what opportunities and challenges local businesses are facing that might affect their ability to maintain their level of service or even expand. PEDCO recently visited Morris Inc. and East Pierre Landscape and Garden Center. Thank you to John Morris and Art Smith for your time and valuable input. The future looks bright for these two local companies.
PEDCO to offer Leadership Pierre Scholarships
The PEDCO board has approved creating a $1,000 annual scholarship fund to support the newly-resurrected Leadership Pierre program coordinated by the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce.
Currently there are 15 participants in the program thanks to their employers who have not only allowed for time off, but are also covering the program's cost. PEDCO would like to make sure that self-employed or small-business-employed future leaders can also get some financial support to get involved.
PEDCO will be working on the scholarship rules in the next few months so that applications can be processed with the next leadership class. Enrollments for the next class begins in May and slots are limited, so Chamber CEO Jamie Seiner is again expecting a competitive selection process.

PEDCO Loan Helps Prepare Northridge Plaza for New VA Clinic |
STG International Inc., based in Alexandria, VA, was recently awarded a
$6,195,142 federal contract from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center for medical services in support of the Pierre Community Based
Outpatient Clinic in South Dakota.
The new home of the local VA clinic will be in Northridge Plaza. With the help of a PEDCO loan, Midwest Holdings of Pierre was able to begin transforming 7,920 square feet of mall space into a medical clinic environment. The clinic will front Garfield Avenue and stretch from the former Kmart doors to Tokyo Sushi.
Founded in 1997,
STGi designs, builds, staffs and manages healthcare clinics around the country that deliver primary care, mental/behavior health, women's health, radiology, telehealth, among other services. According to STGi, they excel in transitioning all aspects of clinic operations upon contract award - from building-out and equipping the facility, to passing inspections and recruiting a full complement of credentialed medical and administrative personnel who are ready to go on day one.
The new clinic will create at least 10 full time positions in Pierre, which was one of the reasons PEDCO agreed to provide financing. "They are advertising 11 quality healthcare jobs on their website now," says Jim Protexter, PEDCO COO. "We can't say how many net new jobs that is because there will be movement within the community, but it's the type of opportunities for professional growth that we like to support."
The new space was turned over to STGi's contractor last week. It is anticipated the new clinic will be open sometime in May.

Dollar General details store openings, improvements
Dollar General will open 975 new locations and remodel 1,000 existing stores this year, with self-checkouts and improvements to sections including health and beauty, the company said.

Retail store closures up 23% this year
Retail store closure announcements this year are outpacing 2018's numbers, with 4,810 stores having closed so far -- a 23% increase over the same period last year.

National Real Estate Investor online (3/14)

Expert: Successful retailers learn to win over women
Women's roles as caregivers to multiple generations mean they control about 70% of consumer spending, and retailers can look to women for a greater understanding about how retail is changing, consultant and author Bridget Brennan says. "Stereotype avoidance is crucial. Make it your business to learn how factors like language, attitudes and social roles are evolving in the culture," she says. Women's Wear Daily (3/8)
Walmart to offer returns at the front door
Walmart will soon outfit "customer hosts" with the technology they need to process purchase returns at or near the front door of the store. "The customer host will have the technology to do a refund for you right there, including cash," said Greg Foran, CEO of Walmart US. Business Insider (3/7)

CVB Report

National Travel & Tourism Week (NTTW) is
May 5 - 11, 2019, and is held annually for the US Travel community. This is the time when travel and tourism professionals celebrate the value that travel hold for our economy, businesses and our personal well-being.
NTTW was established in 1983 by President Reagan. It is the annual acknowledgement to travel in America. There is a common theme to showcase travel's contributions for the economy and for American jobs. The theme for this year's National Travel & Tourism Week is "Travel Matters". The theme showcases all the different ways travel impacts American jobs, economic growth and personal well-being.
Below are a few facts from Brand USA regarding travel in the United States.
- Travel generated $2.4 trillion for the U.S. economy in 2017 across all U.S. industries.
- Our attractions, restaurants, music venues and more - and the people that make them possible - are the best in the world and showcase what makes America great.
- Travel supported 15.6 million U.S. jobs in 2017 - that's one in nine American jobs, making travel the seventh largest employer in the private sector.
- Americans are increasingly realizing the value of their vacation time, taking an average of 17.2 days of vacation a year. Yet less than half of that time is used to travel - despite its clear benefits for health.
- Adults know that travel matters to families: 62 percent of adults say their earliest, most vivid memories are of family vacations taken between the ages of five and ten.

Get Ready! They Are Coming!
With white fluffy stuff still in the air, with melting snow running in small streams or with rivers edging over their banks, it's hard to think about tourists arriving shortly. But this too will pass, and the tourists will be here. Now is the time to get your business or community ready.
Take an inventory of your community or business - from what you determine would you want to return after your first visit? I know a business owner that starts her tourism season each spring by "going in a different door." She actually goes in a different door than she usually does when she enters her business on another day. It makes her look at things in a different light. She says she always finds things that need attention. Maybe it's a bit of repainting or signage that needs changing. Does your signage - inside and out - say what you want tourists to do? And, does it reflect your business in a positive way? You might want to ask someone to visit your business and offer suggestions.
Plan on how you are going to train your work force - your team. And then have a plan for additional training as the season goes along. Your employees are the first impression visitors have of your business or community. And, do you adhere to customer service the same way you want your employees to - they will follow your lead. Give your employees the ability to make quick decision to please a customer and then stand behind their decision. Then they don't have to always find you for an answer, and it will pay off in the long-run. Make sure your employees have information on the area so they can answer questions - or know where they can go to find out what the visitor is looking for. Never should the answer be "I don't know."
Get ready because visitors are coming - let's make their visit to our area end with them saying "we need to come back here." Or, better yet, "we are going to tell our friends about this community or business! It was awesome!"
