BOX ELDER, S.D. (KELO.com) South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was in Box Elder Wednesday to stump for $3.2 million she’s asking for to build a new rec facility.
She says the new facility is needed if Ellsworth Air Force Base scores the new B-21 Raider.
Noem spoke at the VRC Metal Systems building.
Construction on the Liberty Center in Box Elder could begin as soon as March 1, 2021, if state legislators approve the money for the project. The total cost of the project is $12.6 million.

Last month South Dakota became one of the latest states to legalize both medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Fifty-four percent of the state’s voters approved Constitutional Amendment A, the adult-use legalization measure, while a medicinal marijuana initiative was approved by nearly 70%. Both measures are scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2021.
Despite those significant victories, however, a faction within the state government is looking to overturn those results and resurrect cannabis prohibition in the Mount Rushmore State.
