For June’s Community Connection Tour, we are going behind the scenes at 9 Mile Park, a state-of-the-art concrete and asphalt production facility located off Exit 71. This is a unique opportunity to get an inside look at the operations, technology, and processes that keep major infrastructure projects moving in our region. During the tour, participants will learn how the facility’s systems work, how materials are produced, and where these products are being used throughout the community. From roads and parking lots to large-scale development projects, attendees will gain a better understanding of the role 9 Mile Park plays in shaping our area’s growth and development. Registration is required, and space is limited to the first 25 participants. If you register, please plan to attend and mark your calendar. We are committed to providing a welcoming and accessible experience for all event attendees. If you require any accommodations, please reach out to Jaci Pieters at jpieters@siouxfalls.com. We will make every effort to meet your needs.

Join us this July for a special tour of the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum & East Sioux Falls Historic Site.What began as a dream by local environmental visionary Mary Jo Wegner has grown into a natural haven for the Sioux Falls community. Featuring wetlands, gardens, and native plants, the Arboretum offers opportunities for recreation, education, and discovery. As a living link to the past and an investment in the future, the site helps foster meaningful connections between people and the natural world while sharing the stories of earlier cultures and their relationship with the environment. The Arboretum’s mission is to nurture connections between plants and all people, past and present, in an inspiring natural setting that invites discovery. Registration is required, and space is limited to the first 25 participants. If you register, please plan to attend and mark your calendar.
