RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Rapid City-based Black Hills Corp. plans to build a $70 million corporate headquarters in the city.

The energy company and parent of Black Hills Power will break ground in the spring on a 30-acre site on the city’s south side. The headquarters is projected to open in early 2017.

The facility will house about 500 employees who now work in five different sites around Rapid City, including its main building downtown. Over time, the company plans to move some employees from other states to Rapid City.

Mayor Sam Kooiker (KWAY-kuhr) calls it “a huge investment in our community.”

Black Hills Corp. serves nearly 800,000 electricity and natural gas customers in South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado. The company has nearly 2,000 employees.
