USDA Rural Development awarding $750,000 to Grow South Dakota
One South Dakota non-profit aiming to help small businesses in the state is receiving $750,000 from the federal government.
Grow South Dakota has been providing advancement of housing, education, and economic opportunities for 17 counties in the state.
A large piece to that aid comes from federal funding. The USDA Rural Development is giving the non-profit $750,000 to build upon its work and reach more opportunities.
The department is building upon $22 million of past funding awarded to Grow SD.
Lori Finnesand is the CEO for Grow SD. She said the relationship with Rural Development has helped them achieve their goals.
“Rural Development has been a great partner, like I mentioned, over 30 years we have partnered with them. There’re opportunities with them for us to access money, loan capital that we can turn around and relend to businesses across the state. They have a wide variety of programs, so we look to work with them and access capital whenever that’s feasible within their program,” Finnesand said.
Grow SD works with a variety of small businesses at different stages of development.
Finnesand said supporting these businesses can mean a lot to communities.
“This is a great opportunity for us to access additional capital for our loan fund that we can use to support businesses throughout the state of South Dakota. It helps us to keep jobs and retain businesses, especially in the small, rural towns across South Dakota. It really is rewarding for us to be able to assist businesses. It might be a small-town business that if that wasn’t there, they might have to drive several miles in order to access groceries or to access repair items,” Finnesand said.
She also said that the funding will go towards lending to some small businesses in need.

Clear Lake businessman Tim Begalka is running for re-election to the South Dakota Senate for District 4. Begalka served two terms in the State House and two terms in the Senate.
He and his wife Rhonda live in Clear Lake. Their have three adult children also live in the state.
Begalka has owned Sodak Gardens, a local greenhouse and nursery, for the past 30 years. The business was started by his late father Leon Begalka in 1954. Begalka is a graduate of Clear Lake High School and South Dakota State University, and is a fifth generation Deuel County resident.
While in the legislature, Begalka served on the agriculture, education and commerce committees and was vice-chairman of the Judiciary Committee. In his release he said he has always looked out for the “little guy,” whether that be an individual, family, township, small-town, farm, business or school. He is a defender of property rights, the 2nd amendment and the right to life, he said in a release.
“While in Pierre, I frequently witnessed the bigger businesses, schools, and government entities try to take advantage of the little guys,” Begalka said in a release. “The big guys already have more money, power, numbers, and lobbyists. The little guys need a Senator with a backbone to stand up for them. That’s what I promise to continue to do, represent the citizens of District 4.”
He has never lost an election, and his winning philosophy, he said, is “Always tell the truth, and try to be nice to everyone”.
Begalka will be on the ballot for the June 2 Republican Primary. In order to vote in that primary, you need to be a registered Republican in District 4 by May 18th. District 4 includes all of Deuel, Grant, and Hamlin Counties, greater Codington, southeastern Roberts, and all of Clark County except the southwest corner.
