South Dakota Wins when our population grows by welcoming new faces and encouraging the return of those who have left our state.

South Dakota's economy cannot grow only at the birth rate. We will invite our friends and family members back to South Dakota through a reinvigorated Dakota Roots program. We will get proactive, undertaking an unprecedented partnership to recruit new pioneers, new South Dakotans to our state to take chronically unfilled, open positions in our workplace and in our communities. Finally, we will help communities conduct housing surveys so that they may better develop and market housing options and investment opportunities in their communities.
