July 6, 2022 – The local government in Minnehaha County, S.D., created a task force to review and establish a new vision for the W. H. Lyon Fairgrounds in Sioux Falls at its current location, but during a recent commission meeting Knife River Corp. extended a much different idea. “Knife River currently borders the fairgrounds on three sides and those surrounding properties are an active mine. We believe that under the fairgrounds is a large deposit of high-quality construction aggregates,” Knife River Sioux Falls President Clark Meyer said to the council. Knife River is offering to buy the fairgrounds property for $65 million, with the goal of expanding its aggregates operations. Read about the plan here.
