Together we can win on January 20th
A Yes vote for the Destination District will give Rapid City public infrastructure, entertainment and year round attractions, restaurants, housing, parks,- and most importantly, improved economic impact for Rapid City.
A Yes vote supports families gathering from near and far. A public space. For gathering. For fellowship. For celebration. For memories past and yet to be made. We ask you to do what is hard, to do what is right and join us in the fight against the “No-alition” that is making it harder to improve schools, fill our aquifers, fund our airport expansions, and develop actual property tax reduction
The city is paying for development. The TRUTH is private development is investing in the city’s infrastructure.
Rapid City Abuses TIFS
Rapid City’s growth is paved with the successful TIF developments we now take for granted. Rushmore Crossing, the recent ‘Chick-fil-A’ TIF, The Sports Complex, healthcare expansion, EAFB housing, Founders Park and more prove that TIFs are a smart, effective tool for growth.
Property Taxes Increase
The truth is that TIFs pay for themselves by using the new tax revenue they generate. Your current property taxes are not used. TIFs broaden the tax base, which can stabilize or lower the tax burden for everyone in the long run. This project is expected to:
The TIF doesn’t fund public infrastructure
The TIF is a tool for funding essential public improvements. This TIF would fund the widening of Seger Drive, the extension of Tish Boulevard, and necessary drainage and sanitary sewer upgrades—upgrades that complement the new Sports Complex and benefit the entire area. A Yes vote saves the Sports Complex 10 MILLION in infrastructure that they don’t have budgeted
The Destination District is unpopular
Polling shows that nearly 60% of Rapid City residents want new entertainment, attractions, restaurants, and year-round experiences.
Even MORE want new grocery or niche stores.
Rapid City citizens want new housing developments.
LibertyLand addresses these needs by adding needed housing units to our community, new robust dining and shopping, year-round entertainment and attractions that include an IMAX Theater
The City snuck this project by the public.
The Liberty Land / Destination District development has a longer history than you’d think – started by a group of locals who had some big ideas. “In the beautiful Black Hills of Dakota Territory, the authentic American spirit of the West begins again, allowing the world to experience freedom by making history real.”
In 2022, this project passed Zoning and Planning
In 2025, the Rapid City Council passed this development TWICE
NOW IT IS UP TO US!
Corporte Handouts and Free Rides
The risk is on the developer, not the city. It’s up to private businesses to develop, which will increase the entire tax base and pay for the Infrastructure. Target, Scheels, Cabelas, countless housing projects, streets, sewer, signals, police and fire stations –
all from TIFs
New / Free Grant Money
Since 2011, (SB90) South Dakota has included discretionary funding for TIFs. South Dakota, including Rapid City, has used this funding mechanism for nearly 15 years. It must be used for the Public Good and cannot be used to develop housing. Because of this investment, it could be the largest sales tax development in Rapid City history. That is money for schools, roads, public safety and property tax reduction

The opposition is counting on low turnout and fear to continue the false narrative.
Loud extremism shouldn’t control the future of our families. We believe in grand dreams and big futures. Join us in building something the community will come together and support on Jan 20.
