South Dakota regulators approve NorthWestern Energy’s economic development efforts

Rick Edwards is the company’s director for community connections. He told commissioners that NorthWestern’s flagship program, Advantage South Dakota, focuses on workforce development and business attraction and expansion. It works with Aberdeen, Webster, Milbank, Redfield, De Smet, Mitchell, Chamberlain, Kimball, Wagner, Yankton and Huron.

Edwards said NorthWestern has “a very good relationship” with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
