ReImagine Rural: Rural Learning Center

The Maroney Rural Learning Center facility is a product of visionaries like you. Building it is an exciting event for South Dakota and Miner County. It's a winning combination of the right people, the right place and the right time.

Designing the RLC facility has been a collaborative effort of many stakeholders, and we'll need more partners to help make this dream a reality. You can help build a symbol of the new day for rural communities.
