In the words of Tom Johnson... "We see Fed people." Much like the 1999 movie "The Sixth Sense," this month's Economic Indicators Report is exciting, dramatic, and full of intensity, but with a plot twist that hits you like a gut punch and leaves you never wanting a sequel. Not sure what we're talking about? Read on and see for yourself: https://bit.ly/3WGY3eo

In a joint announcement this morning, United States Senator Mike Rounds, the South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority, and the Black Hills Area Community Foundation revealed a significant federal funding award of $30 million aimed at addressing affordable housing challenges in the Black Hills region. This funding will be utilized to establish local housing trust funds, providing low-interest gap financing for developers and purchasers to construct or retain below-market-rate housing. By leveraging federal funding, these trust funds will offer a flexible, perpetual, and local tool to support the construction or retention of affordable housing units across the region.
