The South Dakota Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) Board of Economic Development approved projects totaling more than $12 million in capital investment at its monthly meeting. The actions are expected to create approximately 48 full-time jobs. Harris Machine Company was approved for a $1,326,749 SD Works Loan. The loan will fund the purchase, installation, and support of new equipment at their Aberdeen location. This loan complements a previously approved SD Works project that facilitated the company’s expansion into Aberdeen and supported earlier equipment purchases. Huhu, LLC, a construction company based in Aberdeen, was approved for a $760,000 SD Works Loan. This funding will be used to expand its corporate headquarters due to space constraints at its current facility. “Investing in our local businesses is crucial for building a strong economy,” said GOED Commissioner Joe Fiala. “These investments will empower businesses to thrive and provide valuable employment opportunities for local residents.”
