“The REDI Fund is designed to help businesses expand and promote job growth and Legacy Electronics, Inc. is doing exactly that,” said South Dakota governor, Dennis Daugaard. “Whenever we can offer assistance through funding that supports the creation of quality, technical jobs, I’m pleased to do so. Many thanks to Legacy Electronics and their entire team for their continued investment in South Dakota,” Daugaard commented.
