Guest column by Everett Palmer, Cougar Alliance for Sustainability founder
After listening to the Mayor’s State of the City, I walked away feeling genuinely optimistic about the future of Sioux Falls — but also reflecting more critically on what lies ahead. The address highlighted many successes, and those achievements speak to the strong momentum our city continues to build.
What stood out most was the report that Sioux Falls is experiencing its lowest violent and property crime rates in nearly a decade, even amid continued population growth. That is both impressive and reassuring, and it reflects the dedication of the public servants who help keep our community safe.
