On this edition of South Dakota Focus we bring you up to date on the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake. The SDPB crew was invited on a special one-time tour of the lowest part of the mine to date. During the program we'll show you video taken during that tour. You'll also see interviews with former Homestake employees now working to turn the vision of a science lab into a realty. On the show: Governor Mike Rounds, Ron Wheeler and Dr. Jose Alonzo.
