HURON — Ron Wirtz the Regional Outreach Director for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis will be in Huron to give a presentation of the state of the South Dakota Economy along with getting an assessment from business and community leaders regarding the local economy.
The presentation is set for 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at the Plains Dining & Recreation. The public is invited to attend this breakfast meeting. Space is limited, so to reserve your spot, call the Huron Chamber & Visitors Bureau at 352-0000.
Wirtz’s primary responsibilities involve tracking current business conditions across the six-state Ninth Federal Reserve District, which includes Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, northwest Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana.
