The Design South Dakota Team needs your ideas and input May 17 and 18. The 3-plus day design:SD event, called a “charrette,” is described by project leaders as a “mixing bowl” of local knowledge, ideas and visions for the future, with the expertise and experience of professionals from outside the community.

The design:SD team of volunteer architects, planners, engineers and community developers from across the region will arrive in Corsica on the evening of May 16. On Thursday, May 17, the team will be set up at the Corsica Legion Hall from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm to learn from community members. From 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, the team invites the public to share ideas and visions about the future of this region at “Community Roundtables.” Each table will have a focused conversation about one topic, like Regional Economy, Local Housing, Recreation, Transportation, Education, etc.

Later on Thursday evening, the regional community is invited to a Potluck Town Hall Meeting at the Grade School Gymnasium at 6:30 pm. Community members are invited to share food and ideas with each other and the Design Team.

On Friday afternoon from 2-4pm, the Design Studio will be open to the public. This will give community members a chance to watch the team work. The Team will also host a “Community Feedback Session” on Friday at 5:00pm at the Legion Hall. On Saturday, May 19, the Team will make a presentation to the community at 10:00 am at the Grade School Gym.

The Design:SD event will be a busy one for the Corsica area community. You can see or print a Full design:SD schedule by clicking here, or print and cut out a Shorter Schedule here.
