Opt out of property tax freeze– Non-highway needs compete for limited funds

Rural Development Pressure(Blom Township Example)
A large dairy was constructed west of Brandt, SD. The primary access is a gravel road from the dairy to SD Hwy 15. The road had performed quite well for ~50 years with routine blade maintenance and occasionally adding gravel.
Condition of the road after opening of dairy – the road deteriorated further and had to be closed.

Rural Development Pressure(Blom Township Example)
Approximately $40,000 of local funds have been spent for road improvement thus far.
While the primary access road was closed for repair, this alternate route began to fail.

Observations (Not Conclusions)
Responses to local agency survey indicate serious financial challengesAgricultural, residential, and industrial development places significant demands on local transportationSurvey responses are not yet adequate to reliably predict road surface funding needsBridge and road surface treatment costs have risen dramatically since 1998 assessmentFinancial needs are expected to increase significantly from 1998
