Iroquois, SD

Since examining ourselves through the Horizons project we have seen evidence of many groups coming together to get some common goals accomplished. One of the projects being done because of the Study Circles is the erection of an electronic sign on Highway 14 through town. The Horizons group began the initial talking, the city government listened to the talk, and took it upon themselves to order the sign and saw to it that the initial 50% funding was done. Some of this beginning money was in the form of grants for community projects. What better community project than this!!! Another example of partnerships being formed is between the Iroquois Housing and the city to not only acquire lots but to also clean up abandoned homes and then to build on lots. The city waives the fee for building permits on these homes. Individual citizens step up to help when extra help is needed.
