Housing is key for community development

Economic development for a community is driven by several factors. The top two, in many cases across the state, are workforce/workforce development and housing.

Belle Fourche updated its housing study and developed a housing plan in 2021. Developers have a

key tool when considering larger scale development that includes, zoning and infrastructure as well as drone footage and proximity to key community amenities.
