Mayor Jason Salamun joins Murdoc to break down some of the biggest developments happening across Rapid City, including Northrop Grumman’s expansion into the community and the opportunities surrounding the B-21 mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Salamun discusses the city’s newly approved budget, highlighted by a historic $65 million investment in streets and infrastructure over the next two years, including expanded mill and overlay work. The conversation also covers a citywide diaper drive that collected 35,000 diapers for Mommy’s Closet, visits with students at Corral Drive Elementary and Central High School, and some of the unique businesses operating in Rapid City. The episode closes with Salamun discussing the proposed Rapid City Area Schools bond and why he believes investments in new schools, security, HVAC improvements, and accessibility are important for the community’s next generation.
