CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

The public safety campus spans 42 acres and is a hub for law enforcement, fire rescue, and emergency services. Beginning at the fire rescue training center, the tour encompassed the 911 emergency communications center, the Emergency Operation Center , and the Chief Matt Burns Range . Snacks were passed around as the group boarded a charter bus and headed to Dell Rapids. There, we met up with Sheldon Jensen , community and economic development director for City of Dell Rapids . Over the intercom, Jensen filled us in on Dell Rapids history on our way to the town’s infamous quarries. Upon our arrival at L.G. Everist Quarries , president Rob Everist came aboard to share information about the quarries' physical parameters, their economic impact, and more.
