Company withdraws from controversial Black Hills exploratory drilling project
"We stopped the drilling, this is a victory for the #OcetiSakowin," Lakota youths said as the drilling rig drove out of #SacredLand.

"A company that’s being sued for exploratory drilling near a culturally significant site in South Dakota’s Black Hills is withdrawing from the project, according to a letter shared with project opponents.
"The opponents include the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance, which posted a copy of the letter and a statement Friday on social media.
" 'This is a testament to the people, organizations, and tribal governments who showed unified action, determination, and courage in the face of what seemed to be overwhelming odds,' the alliance said.
"The letter from Pete Lien & Sons to the U.S. Forest Service references the #RapidCity-based company’s project near Pe’ Sla, also known as #ReynoldsPrairie, which is a high mountain meadow in the central #BlackHills. "

I'm a little stunned that we successfully voted down the Libertyland theme-park. This seems like the kind of thing the population here would go for. #RapidCity #SouthDakota
We urgently call on all voters to act against the $125 million Rapid City Destination Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, also known as Libertyland. This TIF district directly impacts taxpayers and threatens future funding for our schools and infrastructure, all while keeping our property taxes high. We do not oppose responsible growth in Rapid City, but we cannot stand by as tax breaks are handed out at the expense of our community’s future. Right now, Rapid City and Pennington County are losing out on property tax revenue from $700 million in assessed valuation tied up in 18 active TIF districts. These handouts must stop. Stand with us to protect our schools and neighborhoods. Help us spread the word: Vote NO to Corporate Welfare. Vote NO on January 20, 2026!
