Huron Chosen For Regional Company Offices
The city of Huron hosts the general offices of a Nebraska and Dakotas company with 80 cents payroll per employee, nearly 170 thousand dollars yearly in payroll, and close to a million dollars planned for plant expansion this year. The mortgage and loan division covers about 1100 farm units, with a 13-person state staff overseeing four field offices. Huron also houses headquarters for several associations and institutions, including Rev. S. W. Kerkas’s Congregational Church Conference operations and the Farm Bureau, Greater South Dakota Association, Retail Merchants, Grand Lodge IOGF, and SD Bankers. There’s a reason, the ad says.
