A guest column by Gregory LaFollette, a CPA and former technology executive, reflects on his experience with city leadership in Sioux Falls. In December 2016, LaFollette flew back into Sioux Falls and encountered executives from corporate relocation and site selection on his flight. They were surprised to find that Sioux Falls did not have a ride-share company operating in the city at the time.
This encounter highlighted the city’s lack of modern amenities, which could impact its attractiveness to visitors, business travelers, and companies considering relocation. LaFollette’s story serves as a counterpoint to the city’s growth and development under the leadership of Christine Erickson.
