Good morning, Rapid City.

City Utility Maintenance Storm Division crews are clearing debris from a settling pond along Fifth Street, and the west southbound lane from Terracita Drive to Anamaria Drive is closed — drivers are urged to use alternate routes.

Rapid City’s Building Services Division issued 2,428 permits valued at over $390.9 million in 2025 — the third highest yearly total, with a notable boost in single family and duplex permits.

Officials said they hope for strong building activity in 2026, reflecting growing local construction trends.
