A Minneapolis-based construction company is betting on the Black Hills

McGough Construction wants to invest in Rapid City. In an era of remote work, the Minneapolis-based company has opened a brick and mortar storefront in the heart of downtown. But the group is also bringing a level of technology and innovation unique to West River, placing them on the cutting edge of the region's massive building boom.

The general contractor wants to be a permanent presence amid Rapid City's booming economy and growing development. They've designed and built massive buildings using innovative technologies like drones and digital construction programs. And the company is hoping to replicate its growth and impact in the area like it has in Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas and Iowa.

McGough is a family-owned company and has built advanced healthcare facilities, educational campuses, state-of-the-art data centers and science facilities. Their first project in South Dakota was the Terex Utilities Replacement Facility in Watertown. The more than 446,000-square-foot building houses manufacturing and corporate offices for the global construction equipment manufacturing company.
