After a quarter century of success in Sioux Falls, Graco Inc. is expanding its manufacturing operation in Sioux Empire Development Park III. The company owns sufficient space adjacent to its existing facility at 3501 N. Fourth Avenue to add 56,000 square feet and 40 additional jobs.

Workforce is a hot-button topic and top-of-mind for nearly every employer. Join us on Thursday, August 23 for the WIN in Workforce Summit at the Sioux Falls Convention Center to help guide your workforce efforts forward.

It’s only been a bit more than a month since I started my position as president and CEO of the Sioux Falls Development Foundation, but it already seems like home. I’m glad to get back to my roots in this area, and the friendliness and positivity of the people we’ve met since moving back has made us so happy to be here.

With companies exploring their futures in Foundation Park and throughout our region, new president and CEO Bob Mundt has had to hit the ground running. He’s been out in the community, making connections with businesses and organizations and discovering for himself what a dynamic community Sioux Falls really is. He’s impressed us already with his energy, his determination to get to know Sioux Falls and its people and his expertise in helping communities grow.
