Broadcaster Press 9 November 8, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com Weekly Column: In A Pinch South Dakota Community Foundation Awards $10,000 Grant To Revive Centerville’s Downtown The South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) selected the Centerville Development Corporation as one of 14 recipients in its recent round of Community Innovation Grants. Community Innovation Grants provide funding aimed at uncovering breakthroughs in community needs across the state. The $10,000 grant will support efforts to address the vacancies in the town’s downtown business district. Although Centerville has several thriving downtown businesses, a growing number of By Rep. Kristi Noem empty and deteriorating commercial buildings exist in the heart of its downtown. The CenPeople are feeling Development Corporation pinched right now, caught terville buildings dampen chances believes the vacant of attracting between rising household new businesses and threatens economic stability costs and stagnant – or in the community. in some cases, falling – “This Community Innovation Grant through wages. the South Dakota Community Foundation will In recent days, we’ve allow the Centerville Development Corporation learned that healthcare to engage property owners and connect them premiums under Obawith community members and potential business macare are once again interest in helping to set to rise – this time, by owners who have a vestedsaid Jared Hybertson, revitalize our downtown,” a staggering 25 percent nationwide, a number that Centerville Development Corporation Economic Development Coordinator. “We will host com- is expected to be even higher in South Dakota. And it’s not just healthcare costs. The Obama administration’s motorvehicle rules are expected to push the price of a new car up by nearly $3,000 over the next decade. The cost of common household products – including fluorescent lamps, microwaves, air conditioners, and dishwashers – are also set to rise by around $1,600 per household as a result of onerous regulations. Meanwhile, regulatory-related expenses are now responsible for almost 25 percent of a new home’s final cost. And if you’re looking for a break on the utility costs, the administration’s latest environmental push promises to skyrocket energy bills. At the same time, our economy remains at a standstill. According to a recent Bureau of Economic Analysis report, America’s real GDP grew an average of just 1 percent during the first two quarters of 2016. That has a real impact on families. By some estimates, the prolonged economic stagnation has cost the median American family a total of $69,000 in lost income over the last eight years. People need relief on both sides of the equation. To help reduce a family’s weekly expenses, regulatory reform should be one of the first federal policy changes. One proposal I’ve backed, the REINS Act, would introduce more accountability into the regulatory system, requiring that any major regulation is reviewed and approved by Congress before it takes effect. This is just a start. Repealing big-government mandates, including Obamacare, and replacing them with consumer-driven approaches would also help cut your monthly bills. Just tackling expenses, however, won’t be enough. Families need their incomes to rise as well. Through a tax plan House Republicans proposed earlier this year, the economy could grow 9.1 percent over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation which also found that Americans of every income group would pay less in taxes under the plan. This growth, fueled by a simpler and fairer tax code, would help raise Americans’ wages and create an environment where 1.7 million jobs could be created. Additionally, investing in job-ready training for young people and opening new markets around the world for products grown or made in America could also help increase employment and incomes, while securing our borders can help protect opportunity at home. It almost doesn’t matter where I am or who I’m talking to, people feel like they’re constantly being hit from all sides. Virtually everything seems to cost more, but few people are making more. We know how this can be resolved: the unnecessary mandates and regulations must be lifted while we create opportunities in the economy for incomes to rise. If we can do that, we can relieve the pinch all too many families feel today. munity meetings and social gatherings to spark meaningful conversations with citizens, building owners and community leaders to determine what can be done to address this growing concern in our community. We truly believe that the future of Centerville and its long-term sustainability may depend on it. This grant award will be the push needed to spark revitalization and new business growth in our downtown. The organization will utilize economic development resources to organize the community meetings. Community stakeholders will discuss what businesses might be successful in downtown and determine how to connect these businesses with available spaces. “The Centerville Development Corporation is pulling together community partners to use problem-solving practices that are more effective and sustainable than existing approaches,” Jeff Veltkamp, South Dakota Community Foundation, Director of Development. “They see a community challenge and are pulling together resources to lead their community into the future. That’s what Community Innovation Grants are designed to do.” During 2016, nonprofits across the state will receive a total of $400,000 through the Community Innovation Grant program, which is a partnership between the SDCF and the St. Paul, MN-based Bush Foundation. At this time, all 2016 application rounds have closed. More applications will be accepted early next year.
