Seize this opportunity! Southtown development needs a kick-start. My family and I have lived in Huron for 12 years. During that time, we have witnessed very minimal development in the Southtown area. My view on the WheatGrass Village is that it will create the opportunity for more houses, restaurants and businesses to move into Southtown.
I grew up in Yankton and recently took the opportunity to drive around their “WheatGrass Village,” which was constructed by the same builder. I will be the first to admit that it is hard to compare S.D. cities for many reasons; however, I can tell you what I witnessed in Yankton was very impressive.

Not only are the apartments attractive and upscale, but the addition of numerous single-family houses that have been constructed right next door to the apartments is amazing. That part of Yankton has boomed in recent years.
I am looking forward to watching this part of Huron boom!
