Turner County has been awarded a $55,000 state agribusiness grant from the South Dakota Transportation Commission.
The grant is intended to help improve a stretch of 462nd Avenue to provide better access to the Great Plains Ethanol Plant, Gov. Mike Rounds announced May 10. Asphalt will be added to one-third of a mile of rural road.
The grant is part of a state Agri-business Grant Program, which helps local governments with road needs for projects associated with agriculture-related businesses.
The transportation commission allocates $1 million a year in highway funds for the program. The state reimburses communities for the amount of the grant, which is designed to cover 60 percent of project costs.
The program is within the Governor’s Office of Economic Development as well as the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
