Dakota
State Line Regional Alliance Champion Community
2004 was an eventful year for the communities involved in the
Dakota State Line Regional Alliance. With major development projects
in some counties, job retention projects in several communities,
and further assurance of the area maintaining its status as having
excellent health care facilities, due to a hospital expansion in
one community and plans for a new hospital in another community
of the DSLRA. There also were some major expansions of existing
business which helped to create more jobs and further stimulate
the local economies of the surrounding area. We continue to improve
the quality of life of the area by supporting projects like the
new and updated swimming pools, the city parks and stroll zone
areas, local ambulances and fire departments, and the all important
infrastructure improvements that will support our communities development
and growth far into the future. Click on any of our community web
