The first phase of an 80-acre industrial park has opened in Brandon.

The Rovang Industrial Park has 53 acres currently available, with planned rail access and proximity to Interstate 90. It’s adjacent to the Brandon and Corson development parks and is Brandon’s sixth industrial park.

“Since 1983, we’ve added significantly to available industrial land in Brandon, and we now have 430 acres in our parks,” said Dennis Olson, vice president of the Brandon Development Foundation. “During that time, Brandon has added 1,400 new primary jobs and increased assessable property by nearly $60 million.”

The new park is a designated South Dakota Certified Ready Site.

It will provide the community with new options in a location that has proven itself as a site for growing companies, said Nick Fosheim, executive director of the Minnehaha County Economic Development Association.

“Brandon has long understood that opportunities for growth often depend on available land,” Fosheim said. “The development parks adjacent to the new Rovang property have filled rapidly, and there is still demand for sites in the Brandon area. The Brandon Development Foundation is determined to do what it takes to keep their community growing.”
