Mayor Jason Salamun joins Murdoc for a Labor Day weekend edition of Meeting with the Mayor, reflecting on family, making memories and the end of another Rapid City summer before diving into what’s happening around town. They discuss the city’s partnership with Dakota Biochar to turn wood waste from last winter’s massive windstorm into a useful product while freeing up valuable landfill space. Salamun also shares a major milestone for the new sports complex after officially signing the paperwork for the project’s land. Plus, they talk about the groundbreaking research happening at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, remember former legislator and community leader David Lust following his selection to the South Dakota Hall of Fame, preview potential improvements at Storybook Island, and discuss progress toward bringing an Indigenous-focused medical school to Rapid City.
