SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A $20 million expansion of a senior living community in Sioux Falls could begin this year after the Sioux Falls City Council overrode the disapproval of historic preservation groups.

Touchmark at All Saints has a former 130-year-old boarding school as its main feature. It plans a 110,000-square-foot addition to include 31 memory-care units, 60 independent-living units, and a health and fitness center.

The Argus Leader newspaper reports ( ) that the Sioux Falls Board of Historic Preservation and the State Historic Preservation Office believe the project will have an adverse effect on Sioux Falls’ All Saints Historic District.

But residents and neighbors of the district say Touchmark saved the historic building and helped revitalize the area.
