DKC recently began work on a new project, the Black Hawk Volunteer Fire Department addition.  Work on this project is expected to be substantially complete by September 2012.  See a photo of the work being done below.  This is the nearly-complete foundation for the addition.

After nearly a year, work at the 500 Block of Main Street in downtown Rapid City is nearing completion. The demolition and subsequent renovations of retail spaces in the old Sears Building have resulted in new spaces for a variety of local shops and restaurants.  Businesses occupying the retail spaces include Dakota Soda Company, the Wobbly Bobby Pub, Mitzi's Books, Roam'n Around, and Who's Toys, among several others that have already opened or expect to open soon. Dean Kurtz is proud to be a part of this contribution to the revitalization of downtown Rapid City!
