During this time on-street parking will be prohibited within the project limits. Access to residential properties and businesses will be disrupted while the work is being completed in each project area; however, these should be minimal.<\/p>\n<p>The driving public needs to be aware of these construction activities and are advised to drive carefully and follow flagger\u2019s instructions.

This grant allows the Regional Council to bring community leaders together to create a process that assures safe, quality buildings in our region,\u201d said Joseph Neis, SCDRC Board of Directors president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo years ago representatives from across our nine counties held a planning session. One of the top concerns identified was the need for building inspector services. Without inspectors our cities cannot insure safe construction practices. This grant will allow our communities to work together to create an inspection program that can be utilized throughout the region,\u201d added Deb Kantrud, SCDRC executive director.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 2013, the Community Innovation Grant program is designed to inspire and support communities to use problem-solving processes that lead to more effective, equitable, and sustainable solutions. Projects receiving Community Innovation Grants can be at any stage in the problem-solving process, which includes: identifying the need, increasing collective understanding of the issue, generating ideas, and testing and implementing solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity Innovation Grant recipients are tackling community problems in a way we believe most likely to result in real breakthrough solutions. They are engaging the community, collaborating with other organizations, and making the most of existing assets; in short, all of the things it takes to create a true community innovation,\u201d said Elli Haerter, Bush Foundation North Dakota and South Dakota activities manager.<\/p>\n<p>The Bush Foundation will award nearly $5 million to 34 organizations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography, through its Community Innovation Grant program. The full list of Community Innovation Grant recipients can be found at BushFoundation.org\/2014CIGrants.<\/p>\n<p>South Central Dakota Regional Council serves the counties of Barnes, Dickey, Foster, Griggs, LaMoure, Logan, McIntosh, Stutsman and Wells.
