James River Equipment to relocate and expand



Your local John Deere dealer, James River Equipment, will be relocating in 2009 to the Lakeview Industrial Park on the outskirts of Madison, SD. The move not only will allow for 9 more jobs but more space too, the facility size will almost double with a total square footage of 45,000 that will be situated on 15 acres. Other features include having more visibility and convenience for customers by being adjacent to SD-34. Thanks to the cooperative efforts of the local and state departments, the support of the community, and the forward-thinking and enthusiasm of James River Equipment for Madison, the ground breaking ceremony took place on June 16, 2008.
