Sioux Valley Energy Donation to City of Hills Minnesota Helps Purchase Playground Equipment

Colman, S.D. – The city of Hills, Minnesota recently received a total of $10,000 in donations from Sioux Valley Energy to help purchase playground equipment. The funding will help support a city-owned facility that will house up to three childcare locations.

“The city has been working diligently to try and find a solution to help with the daycare provider shortage problem. This project has been in the making for quite some time. We can’t say thank you enough to our many local and corporate partners who have stepped up to help make this project a reality for us. It is a long process but together with everyone’s help and the generosity of partners like Sioux Valley Energy, we are going to make this a reality for the city of Hills,” said Mayor Keith Elbers.

Childcare challenges not only impact individual families but can also affect the entire community. Sioux Valley Energy supports the city of Hills’ innovative approach to an ongoing problem.

“One of the Cooperative’s core principles is commitment to community, and this is the type of project that really embraces and highlights that. We know that availability and affordability of childcare is a challenge, especially in smaller or more rural communities, and we stand ready to be strategic partners in finding solutions,” said Tim McCarthy, Sioux Valley Energy CEO.

The funding, presented to the city of Hills at the end of December, comes from the Cooperative’s Operation Round Up® program which provides grants to worthy causes to communities and non-profits from funds collected when members ‘round up’ their electric bills. A matching donation was provided by Sioux Valley Energy’s REVIVE 2030 program which was designed to partner with local communities to assist with growth and development.

Communities within the Sioux Valley Energy service territory footprint are invited to take part in the Cooperative’s REVIVE 2030 program. For more information, call Brandon Lane or Jay Buchholz at 800-234-1960.

Sioux Valley Energy, a Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, is a member-ownedutility, providing reliable electric service at cost-based rates to more than 28,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries in a seven-county area of east-central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota. #

Colton Economic Development Group

Receives $15,000 Boost from Sioux Valley Energy Colman, S.D. – The city of Colton, S.D., recently formed an economic development group accepting an inaugural investment of $15,000 from Sioux Valley Energy. The funding, presented to the group at the end of December, comes from the Cooperative’s REVIVE 2030 program which was designed to partner with local communities to assist with growth and development.

Colton Mayor Trevor Bunde says this type of early financial boost will make a big difference as the city begins to develop land for the Geraets Addition. The first phase of the housing development includes 70 acres and 49 homes.

“Sioux Valley members should be really proud they are part of an electric co-op that makes investments into communities like this,” said Bunde.

Sioux Valley Energy CEO, Tim McCarthy, added that while financial investments are helpful, the Cooperative is focused on providing “boots on the ground” assistance in partnership with other organizations like Sioux Metro Growth Alliance.

“Colton is a vibrant community that is focused on the future and what they have accomplished is impressive. We are hopeful that Sioux Valley Energy’s REVIVE program, along with assistance from Sioux Metro Growth Alliance, will help other communities grow and prosper as well. There is so much more to economic development than just financial investment—it takes time, dedication, and commitment and we are ready to be a strategic partner to help them reach their goals,” said McCarthy.

Sioux Metro Growth Alliance’s, Jesse Fonkert, agreed.

“Successful economic development requires strong partnerships. Sioux Valley Energy has demonstrated this time after time with the support they offer their members and communities. We’re excited to support the work of the Colton Economic Development Group and know this gift will be well utilized,” said Jesse Fonkert, President & CEO of Sioux Metro Growth Alliance.

Sioux Valley Energy, a Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, is a member-owned-utility, providing reliable electric service at cost-based rates to over 28,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries in a seven-county area of east-central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.
