“Thanks to the support of the Chamber, my travel agency business has increased tremendously since July 2023 when I first joined. Being able to network and connect with other professionals and members of the community is invaluable to me because I am able to gain new ideas for my business and learn from others in the community." — Mark Krebs, 72 & Sunny Travel

“We expanded in Vermillion because of the low cost of doing business in the state and the flexibility of the workforce, as well as our 11-year commitment to the community. The community has been supportive of the efforts and activities of Polaris Industries, and the University of South Dakota has been an outstanding source of part-time and temp labor.” — Paul Eickhoff, Polaris Inc.
