More natural gas is needed for economic expansion in southeast South Dakota, but contracts for that gas have to be signed before any expansion is possible.

Mike Loeffler with wholesaler Northern Natural Gas says they need to make some changes in the next few years that could help with that expansion..

Loeffler says there is a major gas line already in South Dakota….

Loeffler says all of the branch lines are close to their service limit…

Northern’s main line enters South Dakota near Sioux City, then routes to Sioux Falls before heading northwest to Aberdeen.
