DEADWOOD, S.D. (AP) – Architects have unveiled an ambitious master plan for the Black Hills tourist and gambling town of Deadwood.
The Rapid City Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1JLRjBg ) it calls for removal of at least two non-historic buildings to make way for park-like settings, fountains and streams, and an Outlaw Square similar to Main Street Square in Rapid City.
The square would be designed to host historical re-enactments as well as concerts, farmers markets and other activities.
The revitalization plan developed by TSP of Rapid City and RPG of Omaha was conceived after nearly two years of meetings gathering input from residents, business leaders, government officials and civic organizations.
Estimated construction costs would exceed $8.8 million. The plan has many supporters, but some city officials are reserving judgment until they can ascertain the actual costs.
