Several parcels of industrial and housing properties owned by the Flandreau Development Corporation are sparking interest.
The FDC board agreed last week to sell the corner lot at Pipestone and Industrial to Ernie Claflin for his excavating company. The FDC will retain several feet of extra frontage, squaring it off with the property next door that leased by the South Dakota Army National Guard. The group’s goal is to make that area a more prominent entrance to Flandreau from the west.
Claflin recently has been renting the former transformer building on that site, and the rent payments will go toward purchasing the property and building, said Kelley Ramsdell, president of FDC.
The group also has heard from a retail company that is interested in buying the property on Pipestone east of Tractor Supply Co., which is listed at $80,000. The company, which has not been identified to the FDC, would bring 15 to 20 jobs to town and more than $1 million in sales a year, according to information provided.
