Elevate Rapid City

About

Welcome to Elevate Rapid City’s inaugural issue of our new publication, Elevate, in partnership with the Rapid City Journal. As we were putting together the theme of the issue, business owners under 40, we had no idea so many of these entrepreneurs had overcome adversity themselves. In short, they’ve been elevating the region for everyone all along. Our cover story, on the Gonzalez siblings, the children of a first-generation Panamanian immigrant and School of Mines graduate, is the epitome of what it’s like to face and overcome adversity. Our 2020 Legislative Scorecard, which focuses on pro-business Rapid City legislators, highlights some of the adversity faced during this year’s session in Pierre. For those of us who live in western South Dakota, these stories remind us of who we really are when the winds of adversity hit us full force. As Elevate Rapid City’s core values state: “We work hard. We face the challenges. We lead the change together.” We Elevate Rapid City.
