A spotlight on South Dakota's small businesses

On today's show...

There's a table at The Village of Harmony Hill that can double as a koi pond. We talk to Sarah Whitney, memory care nurse supervisor, about the Tovertafel.

South Dakota's roads may be ready for self-driving cars, but are its laws? We hear lawmakers debate House Bill 1095 in their own words.

There are plenty of challenges to running a small business in 2024, but there's also a lot of support available.

We talk to Ellen Harmon, co-owner of RLH, Inc. and Rosebud Building Products in Mission, and Emily Moser, owner of River's Edge Learning Center in Mobridge. And Jaime Wood, South Dakota district director of the Small Business Administration, joins the conversation.

Plus, we pop over to a high school in Presho to meet student Melina Shields. She discusses her work for the JAG-SD program and her dreams for the future.
