buildings will have to be ad-dressed during the upcom-ing legislative session. Thestructures are scheduled tobe demolished next year.

Efforts by the Press &Dakotan to reach ShawnFoutch for comments on theprocess were unsuccessful.

In September, YanktonCounty’s three state legisla-tors expressed appreciationto Daugaard for his consider-ation of the Foutch Brothersproposal and are still hopingfor a positive outcome.

“I appreciate the fact thatthe Daugaard administrationhas given us extra time totry to see if these buildingscan be salvaged and onceagain put to good use,” saidRep. Mike Stevens (R-Yank-ton). “I am hoping that theeconomics of the matter re-sult in a win-win situation,and the buildings can besaved.”

Rep. Bernie Hunhoff (D-Yankton) said he is curiousto see the results of theappraisal.

“Obviously, the land hasvalue, but the buildings are adetriment as they standtoday,” he added. “Any timewe can take public propertyand put it back on the taxrolls, I think lawmakers havean interest. And I know thereis a lot of appreciationaround the state for the oldarchitecture on the HSC cam-pus. Plus, the proposed de-velopment would be onestep in solving Yankton's

housing shortage.“At this point, it’s really

up to the Foutch Brothers,”Hunhoff continued. “As locallegislators, we've met withShawn Foutch and we've of-fered the governor our assis-tance in making the projectwork. Gov. Daugaard and hisstaff have been very openand supportive at what isprobably the last and bestopportunity for restorationof these buildings. We justhope the Foutch Brothersfind it a reasonable ap-praisal. I know they wouldenjoy working with the Yank-ton community on whatwould be a once-in-a-lifetimereal estate development.”

Bowman said she is stillawaiting confirmation fromFoutch Brothers aboutwhich of two options pro-posed for parking and greenspace they would prefer touse. Once that is done, theappraisal will proceed.

The firm is estimating thethree buildings will cost ap-proximately $16.4 million torenovate. That includes$15.4 million for building im-provements and another $1million for site and infra-structure upgrades withinthe boundaries of theproperty.

Most of the approxi-mately 102,000 square feet inthe three buildings would befashioned into about 80apartments. However, ap-proximately 20,000 squarefeet in the north wing of Ord-way would be used for com-mercial office space.

Bowman said she is alsohoping for a positiveresolution.

“They are cool buildings,

and if they can be renovated,that’s great,” she stated.“We’ve never, in all theseyears, found anybody whothought it could be donecost-effectively and find ause. It’s an interestingprocess, and it’s a lot of de-tails to work through. I thinkeverybody is operating ingood faith.”
