We wrapped up a series last Friday, the Daily DEX. A daily feature hearing from users of the beef barn complex on the SD State Fairgrounds and addressing the need to contribute to the Discover the Dex campaign drive of 4 million dollars. Part of that goal will include naming rights to the Dakota Events Complex, Jim White, chairman of the Discover the Dex committee, said they are close to announcing that named donor.
Additional funding amounts are 3 million dollars from the beef barn complex destroyed by fire October 31 last year. Plus 12 million dollars in one time funding from the State of South Dakota that will need legislative approval.
