Looking Back On The Last Eight Years With Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken

Mayor Paul TenHaken was an entrepreneur who worked his way into local politics with a mission to build a stronger Sioux Falls. For the past 8 years, he has guided the city through many triumphs and challenges. Some highlights include mentoring the future of Sioux Falls through Sioux 52, navigating a city during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019 floods and tornadoes, welcoming Chipotle and Chick-fa-la, literally building bridges and new roads to ensure smooth commutes, constructing new schools like Jefferson High School to accommodate the city's continued growth, reimaging and developing the Steel District, encouraging Sioux Falls to get active with the Mayor’s Fitness Challenge, and his newest accomplishment of signing Smithfield Foods to continue their growth in Sioux Falls. The hard work for Mayor Paul officially began on Tuesday, May 15th of 2018, and Sioux Falls is forever changed because of his passion and dedication to Sioux Falls. He joins us in studio to talk about his years as mayor and what's next.
