Council authorized the city manager to sign a $100,000 South Dakota planning grant (SD D‑2025‑016) for a Rideline bus storage facility at 205 N. Fourth St.; the grant is a 75/25 split with a $25,000 city obligation.

The City of Aberdeen council approved staff’s request to authorize the city manager to sign a $100,000 South Dakota planning grant (SD D‑2025‑016) to plan a new Rideline bus storage facility at the existing Aberdeen Bridal site, 205 North Fourth Street.

Transportation Director Rich Krockel described the grant and the proposed site and said the award would require a 25 percent local match. "That would be a $75/$25 split on that," Krockel said. Staff recommended approval and Jordan called the roll: Councilman Leibel moved, Councilman Ward seconded and the council voted unanimously in favor.

Council discussion focused on location and next steps for the planning process; no additional conditions were attached to the authorization. The city will be responsible for the local match and for administering the planning grant per grant terms.
