On behalf of our citizens, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the official web site for the City of Sioux Falls.

I invite you to peruse this site and discover the many exciting attractions that make a visit to Sioux Falls so enjoyable. Sioux Falls is a safe, beautiful, and economically vital city, and I pledge to keep it that way. By effectively balancing the demands of economic development with community needs and visions, City government can set an example of good stewardship for the community it serves.

As the mayor of Sioux Falls, I am steadfast in my commitment to addressing the responsibilities associated with organizing, coordinating, and managing community resources so that we can continue to improve the quality of life for all citizens in Sioux Falls.

Once again, welcome to Sioux Falls!
