TESTIMONIALS
KEVIN TETZLAFF
"A tremendous amount of untapped growth exists within the Brookings area. However, much of this growth is contingent upon our ability to better align our development efforts with advancements taking place at South Dakota State University. Further development of the Research Park, science and technology business development, and recruitment are needed to move forward."
CARLA GATZKE
"Private companies and individuals in Brookings come together through Vision Brookings to catalyze game-change initiatives that leverage funding from other sources to fuel Brookings long-term prosperity. Daktronics is proud to be headquartered in Brookings, and to support Brookings growth through our investments in Vision Brookings."
RANDY HANSON
"Workforce acquisition and development has been a long standing issue and concern for employers of all type in the Brookings region. Several important projects funded through Vision Brookings, such as the South Dakota Education Campus and BEDC’s new Workforce Development Director have been, and will continue to, address these challenges through workforce education, training and recruitment."
