A group of people affiliated with “Think 29” has been traveling in parts of North and South Dakota and Iowa this week, talking about business startups and potential.
The project has been fostered by Yankton businessman Ben Hanten…………

The group held events this week in Fargo, Watertown, Brookings, Sioux Falls, Yankton and Sioux City.
Hanten says while there are people interested in business startups in all those communities, some are further along than others……

Hanten says the businesses they are working with aren’t necessarily high tech or connected to the internet………

Hanten says the entrepreneurs hope to stay in contact along the interstate corridor in hopes of developing a regional and national identity.
