Spearfish To Open $5.8M Facility Built After 2013 Blizzard

SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) — City leaders in Spearfish are set to open a $5.8 million facility built to replace a city-owned call center that collapsed during a blizzard two years ago.

The Atlas Building is tentatively set to open in early November, with Mass Markets as the main tenant. The City Council in October 2014 signed a seven-year-lease with the Iowa company formerly known as TMone.

The company has been operating out of the city’s recreation center since the call center collapse during the October 2013 storm that dumped as much as 4 feet of snow. No one was in the building when it collapsed, and computer servers were spared.

The company’s workforce in Spearfish went from about 250 to about 150 after the storm. It plans to add 100 jobs after the move.
