A task force has been created in Baltic to help plan for commercial development in the town of 1,100 people nestled between Sioux Falls and Dell Rapids.
The Baltic City Council has hired Sioux Falls-based Sioux Metro Growth Alliance to begin the study. A survey was sent to Baltic residents asking for their input on what they would like to see for future growth. The Build Baltic survey had 220 respondents, a number that Sioux Metro Growth Alliance executive director Jesse Fonkert said was strong.
“That’s pretty dang good for a town the size of Baltic,” Fonkert said. “We received a lot of good feedback from the public on ways to be more creative and more assertive with economic development efforts.”
