South Dakota cities and towns can now create a five-member capital improvement board and use it to approve a new local tax of up to one percent on gross receipts to fund infrastructure projects. The board consists of one city council member and four residents appointed by the mayor and approved by the city council, with three-year terms. This gives municipalities a new financing tool for roads, buildings, and other capital improvements beyond their existing tax powers.
