Welcome!
I’m Nancy Wenande, CEO of Yankton Thrive, and I’m excited you’re considering calling Yankton home.
If you’re flipping through this guide, chances are you’re thinking about making a move or have just made a move. Let me be the first to say…great choice! There’s just something about this place: the way the sun sets over the river, the joy of Saturday mornings at the farmers market, or the friendly nods from folks you haven’t even met yet.
This guide is more than a resource, it’s a glimpse into a lifestyle. One where kids can bike to school, neighbors look out for each other, and opportunity is just around the corner. Whether you’re moving for work, family, or a fresh start, we’re here to help you settle in and feel connected.
We believe in work-life balance, but also in community-life balance. Yankton has that “just right” feel, not too big, not too small. We’re proud of our vibrant local businesses, topnotch schools, healthcare options and yearround recreation. But more than anything, we’re proud of our people, because community is what really makes a place feel like home.
We’ve got the kind of hometown charm where people wave from their front porches, and the kind of economic momentum that makes things happen. From scenic adventures on the Missouri River to live music options yearround, you’ll find that life here isn’t just lived, it’s enjoyed.
Moving can be a stressful process. Tasks take longer to complete and packing supplies are depleted faster than you expect. The key to a successful move is preparation. Breaking down the process into smaller, easy-to-do steps will help with the move. This checklist outlines how to prepare so you can plan ahead and stay organized as moving day approaches.
8 Weeks Before
c Create a folder for all moving-related research and documentation.
c Research professional movers and schedule in-home estimates from several companies. Make sure to get prices in writing, and have the company include costs for moving large items like pool tables and pianos. If you need some recommendations of who to use, just ask your REALTOR!
c Research moving truck rental prices and make the reservation, if you’re doing the move yourself.
c Whether you choose a moving company to do the work or a DIY move, avoid peak periods to reduce your expenses.
c If you’re moving long distance, start tailoring your checklist for moving out of state. Plan your route and book hotels if needed.
c Make an inventory of all your household goods that will be moved to the new home.
c Begin to purge items from that list. Decide what you will sell, donate or throw away.
c Start a list of the packing supplies that you will need, such as the number of mattress bags for bedding and TV boxes for televisions, hanging mirrors and artwork.
c Create a budget for all moving-related expenses, leaving some wiggle room for unexpected costs.
PRO-TIP
6 Weeks Before
c Start using up contents of your pantry, cupboards and freezer. This will be easier than moving perishables to your new home.
c Declutter. Get rid of anything that you do not plan to use in your new home.
c Sell any items that you won’t be moving.
c Donate things that don’t sell.
c Give notice to your landlord.
4 Weeks Before
c Determine the number of boxes and moving supplies you will need. Moving kits can be a good starting point.
c Request time off from work for moving day.
c Confirm the timeline with your movers.
c Get the moving boxes, a packing tape dispenser, plenty of packing tape and other moving supplies if you are doing it yourself.
c Pace yourself and start packing things you won’t need right away. Pack out-of-season clothing, files, and special occasion china is a great place to start.
c Fill out a “change-of-address” with the post office, online or in person.
c Notify friends, family, bank and your insurance agent of your new address.
c Schedule time with friends and family if you’re moving far away.
c Pre-order appliances, furniture and other goods needed for the new home.
c Make copies of important papers, such as birth certificates, passports, legal records and health records. Consider investing in a home safe for these documents.

Looking for fun, shopping, a day at the lake, and a great education? Yankton, South Dakota has you covered. And its latest addition, Garden Estates, is bringing more housing to the community.
“Back in 2015, we did a housing study, and it showed we needed more affordable housing in Yankton,” says Brian Steward, Director of Finance at Yankton Thrive.
So, they started a development called Westbrook Estates that provided 73 single-family homes. Yankton Thrive also sold some land to a developer who built two apartment buildings with 153 rental units. “We sold all our lots within 2.5 years,” Brian notes.
But another study indicated a shortage still existed. So, in late 2023 to early 2024, they purchased 80 acres with plans to develop 30 acres for 89 single-family lots. The other 50 acres are slated for phase two, once the initial lots are filled.
“We need to keep growing as a community, and we have to provide affordable housing opportunities for our area manufacturers and our community,” Brian adds.
This project is made possible through several partnerships. “We worked with Stockwell Engineering, Slowey Construction, South Dakota Housing, and the City of Yankton,” shared Brian.
“It’s a sizable project for us,” says Pat Slowey, Vice President of Slowey Construction. “The mass excavation of the site is the biggest part of the project. Nothing looks how it did before we started.”
At their peak, Pat says they had about three crews with 15 guys doing excavation, building up the lots to the proposed, and now finished, elevations.
“We handled all the dirt work, installing sewer and water services to each lot, storm piping, all the grading, gravel, and topsoil work to install service to each lot,” Pat adds. “We are happy to be involved in such an important project for the growth of Yankton.”
According to Eric Derickson of Stockwell Engineers, “Stockwell Engineers was hired as a consultant to help Yankton Thrive with creating a new housing development. Multiple sites across Yankton were investigated, but ultimately the Garden Estates property was selected as the preferred location.
Stockwell helped provide conceptual layouts and preliminary cost estimates during the preliminary design phase. Eventually, a concept was selected, and engineering plans and specifications were created. Stockwell helped Thrive engage with a utility and roadway contractor to perform the work and assisted with the construction, administration, and inspection of the newly designed Garden Estates Development. The project is crucial to the Yankton community as it addresses critical housing needs to support economic and social vitality.”
So, what kind of homes will sit on these lots? Brian says while they have a plan for single-family housing units, it’s up to the developer.
“They can build single family homes with or without basements. We have also had substantial interest from developers looking to construct duplexes.” One of the benefits, of course, is the cost.
“We are able to keep our prices reasonable because of grant funding through South Dakota Housing and utilization of tax increment financing. The lot prices start at $36,500 and go up to $50,000. In Yankton, that’s very affordable.”
Brian says Yankton Thrive felt it was their duty to step in. “No one else was filling this niche. It’s easy for developers to buy some land and build two or three $500,000 to $600,000
Our Mission at Mead Lumber is to provide quality building materials, services, and value with a sustained commitment to serving our customers and helping to build communities across the Great Plains.
homes a year, but we knew we needed affordable housing in Yankton. And we felt it was our obligation to our community.”
That’s the same reason Brent Parry, Branch Manager of Mead Lumber, is stepping up. “We got involved relatively early on in the project,” Brent says. “Thrive was looking for sponsorships for the next phase of the development, and I’m always looking for ways to be involved and support the community.”
Brent hopes to be the material supplier for contractors when they’re looking to build at Garden Estates.
“That could be the framing, all the lumber, OSB sheeting, siding and roofing, windows and doors, cabinets, onyx showers, interior millwork and trim,” Brent explains. “Those are the main things in our wheelhouse. We can supply everything you need for a house. There are times when we’re selling materials for 80% of the house.”
Brian says the new affordable housing options will help area manufacturers and retail as well.
“Manufacturers want to bring new product lines or expand. They can’t do that if we aren’t bringing more people to our community,” Brian explains. “Retail follows rooftops. Where more rooftops are being built, more people are moving to the community, and it drives retail development.”
“The partnership between Thrive Yankton, Stockwell Engineers, Mead Lumber, and Slowey Construction was highly successful,” adds Eric. “Thrive Yankton has been a key community advocate, as shown by the support for the YES4! Campaign and the contributions from partners. This collaboration was essential because it brought together varied expertise and resources,
allowing the project to move forward despite challenges. Their combined efforts ensured effective coordination and problem-solving, contributing to the project’s completion and positive impact on the Yankton community.”
It makes Yankton a great place to live.
“Yankton has a lot of great amenities like the aquatic center and Mount Marty Fieldhouse,” Brian notes. “We live right by the lake, which is just gorgeous. We have some of the best boating and camping areas in the five-state region. We have everything you want in a community: comprehensive healthcare, stellar educational system, diverse career opportunity and a variety of small and large retail options. Yankton has a great and strong future!”
Thank you for allowing us to do the site preparation for your beautiful new facility! We are proud of being a part of creating this amazing facility and wish you the best!

Putting Pests to Rest with Olson’s Pest Technicians
By Michaela Feldmann
For 59 years, Olson’s Pest Technicians has been putting pests to rest. “My grandfather and great uncle founded the business in Norfolk, Nebraska,” says Ryan Olson, co-owner and Chief Operating Officer of Olson’s Pest Technicians. “Around 1994, my grandpa moved the family business to Chamberlain, South Dakota. About four years later, my parents, P.R. and Karla, decided it was time for another move, and we settled in Yankton, South Dakota.”
And they’ve been here ever since, taking care of pest control needs in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Colorado, and Wyoming. The Olson family - P.R. and Karla, Ryan, and Amber Huckins - own and operate the now 3rd generation family business.
Serving as your one-stop shop for all pest management needs, Olson’s handles insects and rodents, mosquitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, and ticks. They also handle bat mitigation for removal, exclusion work, and insulation work.
“Termites are really hard to identify in some cases unless the damage is apparent,” explains Ryan. “They’re often unseen, unheard, and unnoticed invaders of your home that can do considerable structural damage.”
That’s why Olson’s Pest Technicians has an active and preventative green termite system that they’ve installed on thousands of homes, preventing active termite colonies now and in the future.
Another common issue many people aren’t aware of until it’s too late is bed bugs (photo of bed bugs to scale on a penny).
“Bed bugs can be picked up anywhere and everywhere. It just takes a single pregnant female bed bug to infest a home. Because they’re so small, and not everybody is allergic to their bites, you could have an issue; they could be actively feeding at night, and you don’t know about it,” Ryan explains.
“If there’s a pest control issue, we can handle it,” Ryan affirms. “Our mission is to be protectors of health and property, delivering peace of mind for every customer through safe, ethical, and professional pest solutions. A lot of pests and rodents are tied to allergies, more serious lung diseases, or other viruses. It’s our job to protect against that.”
Unfortunately, Ryan says many people see pest control as a reactive service. But Olson’s views it like car maintenance, doing routine maintenance to be proactive, especially on the residential side.
“Your home is often the largest investment you’ll make,” states Ryan. “It can be beneficial to have a plan in place to combat rodents, insects, termites, or whatever it may be, because there could be a problem you’re not aware of.”
How often should you be calling them? Ryan says each home and business is different.“The environments are different, too,” he says. “For someone living in a rural area, there is typically higher pest pressure than in town. We joke that people living in the country trade people’s issues for pest issues.”
Seasonal proofing your home can be an important step to preventing future issues. That includes ensuring you don’t have constant standing water for mosquitoes. “Bird baths or buckets of water should be dumped every five to seven days; that’s the life cycle of those mosquito eggs,” Ryan notes.
Managing landscaping and grass is also important. “If you have landscaping that is touching siding, insects can crawl from the vegetation on up. It’s important to cut back grass or weeds to prevent rodent or snake harborage.”
And as the weather gets cooler, Ryan says to make sure your home is sealed to the best of your abilities. “Sometimes we see garage doors or seals in general that have worn over time, and there is about a two-tothree-inch gap. That’s perfect for a rodent looking for a warmer place for the fall and winter season,” he shares.
Ryan says they hope to make a meaningful impact on each community they serve. “We truly believe our mission isn’t just pest control. It’s about making the communities we serve better places.”
Whether its winter or summer, stay comfortable!
Larry’s Heating and Cooling keeps families comfortable year-round with their fast and reliable services.
Air Conditioner & Furnace Maintenance Tips
• Seasonal Maintenance - SPRING have your A/C serviced before the first hot spell. This ensures coils are clean, refrigerant is at the right level, and the unit runs efficiently. WINTER a furnace tune-up should be done before cold weather sets in. A technician should check burners, igniter, and heat exchangers.
• Filter Care - replace your filter every 1-3 months depending on usage and household factors like pets or allergies.
• Energy Efficiency Habits - seal gaps around windows and doors to reduce strain on both A/C and furnace. Use ceiling fans in summer to circulate cool air, and reverse them in winter to push warm air down. Upgrade insulation in attics and basements to help systems run less often.

First Dakota National Bank is committed to helping its customers in Yankton and eastern South Dakota achieve their goals and dreams.
First Dakota has a long history of investing in the community of Yankton. In 1872, it became the first fully chartered bank in Dakota Territory. Since then, First Dakota has grown to 17 full-service and seven loan production offices, with more than $3 billion in assets.
Shareholder Larry Ness began running First Dakota in 1983, and now his three sons own the bank. Larry is proud of building First Dakota from a struggling financial institution into a thriving part of the Yankton community that truly delivers personalized service.
First Dakota provides a comprehensive array of banking, investment, and trust services for every stage of customers’ financial journeys. The bank is especially proud of its investments in the agricultural community.
“When I came here in 1983, we didn’t do ag loans, and I felt that was a big mistake because agriculture is a big part of South Dakota and Nebraska, where we serve,” Larry explains.
First Dakota developed an ag loan department, and today, agriculture and agri-business have made First Dakota one of the largest agriculture lenders in the United States. One of First Dakota’s proudest achievements is becoming the first Preferred Lender in the nation with Farm Service Agency in March 1999.
“We take care of the community. We attempt to meet the community’s needs. That sounds simple, but it’s not,” Larry adds. “We try to educate them about First Dakota so they’ve got confidence in us, and we find out about their business so we’re going down the right track with them. They appreciate that.”
First Dakota is equally committed to the needs of the customers who trust the bank with their personal and business finances.
“We have a large commercial lending department,” Larry notes. “We’re certainly bigger in commercial loans than we are in ag loans today. We can handle a lot of business.”
“We have a strong presence in Sioux Falls with small business loans. We’re still growing in business banking, and we’re still growing in ag lending.”
“Real estate lending is a strong portion of our bank. Everybody makes family home loans, but we do it better than much of our competition,” Larry affirms.
First Dakota can assist customers with wealth-building strategies, and as needed, the staff can educate customers so they’re better able to make smart, informed decisions about their finances.
“Our staff is very knowledgeable. We try to hire people who have a good background in lending,” Larry says. “We’ve got confidence in them.”
“I believe in taking care of the employees and taking care of the community, and that’s pretty important to me that the employees know me and I know them,” Larry shares. “We treat the employees like family.”
First Dakota’s digital banking services help customers streamline their finances. With First Dakota’s app, banking, e-statements, and more services are always accessible through smartphones and mobile devices.
“Digital is a big part of banking nationwide. It’s necessary, and it’s going to get bigger. Customers like the convenience,” Larry adds.
“We work pretty hard to understand the community we’re in and the community we serve. We work really hard to know those people,” Larry shares. “That’s one of the things that makes our customers confident in us.”

HISTORY
Rare Jefferson Peace Medal on Display at Mead Museum
By Joanne Fox
New to the Mead Museum this year is the display of an original Jefferson Peace Medal, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1801 to be distributed via the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The medal is on loan from Larry Ness, retired owner of First Dakota National Bank. “I bought the peace medal from another local family,” Larry adds. “As a museum member, I thought it was important to share it with others.”
This medal is a rare artifact, historically significant as a symbol of goodwill and alliance between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The 4-inch medal features a profile of Thomas Jefferson on one side and an image of an Indian and a U.S. soldier with clasped hands on the other.
“Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures” is an exhibit that features the history of the region, including Yankton’s namesake, the Ihanktonwan and Oceti Sakowin Nations, the fur trade era, the pre-Expedition politics and development, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the changing landscape and cultural implications post-journey.
The Jefferson Peace Medal is a key element of the exhibit, with its narrative explaining the use of peace medals in diplomacy and the medal’s specific origins and impact on the Ihanktonwan people.
Key Details About the Jefferson Peace Medal
Rarity: It was reserved for the most influential tribal leaders.
Historical Importance: This medal was likely given to a Native American chief during the 1804-1806 expedition.
Lewis and Clark Connection: The Corps of Discovery distributed these medals to Native American leaders.
Native American Significance: The medals became valued status objects and family heirlooms.
Symbolic Aspect: The medals were aimed at establishing peaceful alliances between the government and the tribes.
Implied Acknowledgment: The medals stressed the claim of U.S. sovereignty over the territory of the Louisiana Purchase.
Diplomatic Practice: The practice of presenting peace medals was an established custom dating back to colonial times, used by European powers like the French, Spanish, and British to build alliances and negotiate with Native American tribes. The U.S. government continued this practice, with Jefferson himself noting it as “an ancient custom from time immemorial.”
The Collector, Larry Ness: A lifelong love of South Dakota and its history has led Larry Ness to acquire a vast collection of historical importance to the state of South Dakota. His collection includes American Indian art and artifacts, thousands of early photographs of Plains Indians, and papers and letters about early South Dakota history. His collection has been shared with exhibits at many museums throughout the state.
“I’ve always had a deep interest in the history of South Dakota and the Indigenous People,” Larry explains. “I think individuals who attend the exhibit and see the medal will gain some important information about the history of not only the medal, but of the Yankton area.”
Mead Museum, 82 Mickelson Drive, Yankton Summer Hours through September 30: Monday through Friday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday: 1 to 5 p.m. Adults (18-64): $10; Seniors (65+): $8 (605) 665-3898; meadbuilding.org The exhibit will continue until April 1, 2027 “Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures” Exhibit
This exhibit is informative for all ages, including school-age children, featuring a reader rail and hands-on opportunities. A narrative with the medal includes the history behind the use of peace medals, the origins of the featured medal, and the lasting impact of the Corps of Discovery and the peace medal on the Ihanktonwan people.
Where History Meets the Horizon MERIDIAN
Prior to the construction of the Meridian Bridge, travelers would cross the Missouri River via ferries, rafts, walking on ice, and a pontoon bridge that could only be used during certain months. Deloss B. Gurney, a prominent seed merchant, was motivated by a desire to ensure Yankton’s economic future as a center of trade. Gurney wanted a bridge to replace a ferry and a seasonally operated pontoon bridge that limited transportation south from Yankton to markets in rural northeastern Nebraska. In 1919, Gurney led Yanktonians in forming and funding the Meridian Highway Bridge Company. Gurney’s efforts aided in a final link of the Continental Meridian Highway, now known as US HWY 81, an early north-south route from Winnipeg, Canada, to Mexico City, Mexico. Two years later, construction of the Meridian Bridge began. The bridge was built with a double deck in anticipation that the lower deck would be made available to a railroad.
Officially dedicated on October 11, 1924, the completed $1.1 million Meridian Bridge was from the first a symbol of local pride, in large part because it had been built under local leadership. Yankton hosted an 8-day celebration full of food, entertainment, parades, and fireworks. More than 100,000 visitors from around the region traveled to participate in the festivities. Community pride and hospitality continued as local churches and organizations opened their doors to feed guests, and the local legion organized “tent cities,” a twist on modernday hotels where visitors could rent out a tent for the night. In order to reimburse investors, a toll booth was implemented after the bridge’s opening with rates of 50 cents per car and driver, and 10 cents for each additional passenger. In 1953, the wife of D.L. Gurney paid the last toll, and the bridge was converted into a free facility.
Since its initial completion, the bridge has undergone several rehabilitation projects within its 76-year life. The most significant alteration to the bridge occurred in 1983 when the lift span ceased to be movable. The towers remain, defining what was the vertical lift span. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 1993, the bridge retains its original configuration and is today distinguished as the only vertical lift span in Nebraska and South Dakota.
After a 10-ton gross weight limit was placed on the Meridian Bridge, a nearly $5 million dollar conversion project went underway to allow for continued pedestrian and bike use, including structural repairs, spot painting, lighting, and railings. In November 2011, the Meridian Bridge reopened for recreational use and is a popular outdoor activity enjoyed by both locals and visitors. This project is expected to extend the lifespan of the bridge by at least another 25 years. The Discovery Bridge opened for traffic on October 11, 2009, exactly 84 years after the dedication of the Meridian Highway Bridge. Yankton continues to hold a local nickname of “Bridge City.”
As we celebrated the Meridian Bridge Centennial in 2024, we reflected on the rich history and significance of this iconic structure. Standing as a testament to the resilience of our community, the Meridian Bridge has connected generations and served as a symbol of unity. The centennial year was an opportunity to honor the bridge’s legacy, acknowledge its role in shaping our city’s identity, and envision a future where it continues to be a vital link between people, places, and memories.
