### City backs financial assistance application for $12 million apartment complex

HURON, S.D. — The Huron City Commission unanimously approved a resolution supporting an unnamed limited liability company's application for South Dakota Housing Development Authority financial assistance to build a $12 million apartment complex. The proposed development will consist of three buildings housing 27 units each, totaling 81 new units in an unspecified local neighborhood. City officials noted the state funding relies on a point system where local government support increases the project's chances, and the city is currently preparing an associated Tax Increment Financing district to present to the planning commission in October.
