A South Dakota economic development board this week approved up to $2.8 million in tax relief for Grant Solar LLC to build a solar farm. The board also approved a ten-million dollar state loan to Bel Brands, a cheese factory known for producing mini-cheese wheels dipped in red wax, and a $7,500 state grant to help local businesses grow. Officials expect the projects to result in a combined $395 million in private investment and create 163 jobs. “We’re supporting a major expansion in food production, investing in renewable energy, and fueling local economic development,” Gov. Larry Rhoden said in a press release. “Each project strengthens our communities and ensures long-term growth for our state.” The Board of Economic Development approved the awards Wednesday.
