VISION BROOKINGS III

Launched in 2017
Investment Raised: $2.5 million

​

Vision Brookings III built on the foundation laid by previous campaigns, sharpening its focus on some of the region’s most pressing long-term challenges: workforce development, business growth, and entrepreneurship. The campaign raised $2.5 million in private contributions, continuing the coalition’s track record of high-leverage, high-impact investment.

​

Key initiatives under Vision Brookings III included:

  • Workforce Development – Investments to retain, attract, and educate a sustainable workforce for local employers, including support for the South Dakota Education Campus and BEDC’s Workforce Development Director.

  • Business Growth – Funding infrastructure projects, market studies, and targeted site development to support business expansion and retention.

  • Entrepreneurship – Advancing innovation by investing in the SDSU Research Park, fostering student-led research, and supporting small business leadership.

 

As with prior efforts, Vision Brookings III was catalytic, not only in dollars raised, but in the long-term momentum it generated for the Brookings region.
