Our Impact
Over 30 years ago, a few forward-thinking community leaders established a vision for a prosperous, dynamic region to be achieved through bold, intentional economic development efforts. Critical to that vision was a hybrid, public-private platform for setting agendas and executing strategies to achieve a long-term vision that aligned with near-term needs and opportunities.
Over the years, Forward Sioux Falls has become nationally acclaimed for creating decades of economic growth and corresponding quality of place enhancements that have made Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the envy of communities across the Midwest and throughout the United States.
