Davison County leaders gathered Tuesday to discuss the county’s plans for the July 1 enacting of legislation for medical marijuana in South Dakota, laying out where it could be allowing cannabis-related businesses in the county.
No formal action was taken Tuesday, but the 1-hour, 45-minute discussion primarily centered on medical marijuana dispensaries, with the Davison County Commission agreeing in principle to allow only one dispensary outside the city limits of the three municipalities in the county.
Project still on track to be done in August Written By: Marcus Traxler | ×
The reopening of 397th Avenue south of Mount Vernon took another step forward this week.
The Davison County Commission opened and accepted bids Tuesday in the reconstruction of a key bridge that was washed away in the 2019 flooding. The board voted to move forward with Mitchell-based Menning Backhoe to install a new culvert along 397th Avenue at a bid price of $451,121.
The total cost has previously been estimated at between $470,000 and $505,000.
Davison County Highway Superintendent Rusty Weinberg said he was impressed to have six bidders on the project and using a precast concrete structure helped get more bidders involved, rather than a cast-in-place method, which would be more expensive and specialized.
