City of Box Elder Continues Aggressive Sales Tax Growth 

November sales tax numbers were just released by the South Dakota Department of Revenue showing the City of Box Elder having a sales tax growth of 21.12% over the same period in 2023.   This is following 24.30% growth in the month of October.  

With already strong growth numbers in the books, Box Elder has 4 businesses that are opening soon, 2 Starbucks franchises, an additional Dollar General store and an O’Reilly Auto Parts store.

“With our existing businesses growing at an extremely fast rate, coupled with new businesses opening soon, the sky is the limit for our community,” says Mayor Larry Larson.  “To be leading the region in economic growth and development is very exciting as we look forward the future.”

The growth of Box Elder is expected to continue as the United States Air Force continues its preparations for the B-21 bomber arrival which will bring more military and civilian personnel to Ellsworth Air Force Base.
