Its because downtown is too close to the elevators, in every other town the downtown is separated from the co-op. Downtown Sheldon will never work with the Co-op so close because it always smells terrible in downtown Sheldon because of the Co-op. The people that live in Sheldon are used to it, but for us visitors, Sheldon smells awful constantly.

I was looking at the little park yesterday and have to say the building to the West looks awful. To be honest, until that building is taken care of you won’t catch me or mine using it due to falling bricks or plaster.

Are there any good black friday deals in downtown Sheldon or am I going to have to make a trip to Sioux Falls or Sioux City to get some good deals?

When you say higher tax rate what are you figuring for that? I am not sure on houses but I know tax levy in Sioux county is 15%. I think obrian is 24%. I know I pay more commercial tax in Sheldon than I do in a neighboring town. Both buildings are about the same. Almost same lot size. Utilities are cheap. Gas, electric, garage is minimal compared to what I pay here in Sheldon. I have brought this up to the powers that be in this town and they say I am full of it. Then I bring in my assessed tax forms for both properties and they are not sure how that works. So to say they have more tax base yes but there are reasons for that. Private utilities, aggressive marketing, tax programs. Which if I remember correctly, when I built our building in a neighboring tone, I passed building inspection, I received all my building permit money back. I paid no taxes for the first 5years. Sheldon, no they just double the price of a lot in a years time with no explanations of why. Tax incentives , nope not here.
