In May of 2015, Hot Springs partnered with Dakota Resources community coach, Kristi Wagner, and launched the community engagement process with the purpose of, “unifying Hot Springs for a sustainable future.”
For the rest of 2015 was filled with listening sessions. In total, over 700 people participated. In January of 2016 five key initiatives were born: housing, business and economic development, health and wellness, recreation and tourism.
At the event each initiative team gave a report on their accomplishments over the past couple of years and current projects.
The business and economic development team had several major accomplishments to report. A major project was obtaining a grant for a geothermal study. The study maps the geothermal resources in the area. The information will hopefully be used to make cost effective greenhouses a reality in the Southern Hills.
