White Shield surges
Growth part of revitalization of community
By JILL DENNING GACKLE
What once could be dubbed a sleepy community west of Garrison is now anything but.
White Shield reached its stride and is expanding and surging with leaps and bounds.
First it was a new state-of-the-art school shown off to 1,300 fans at the recent district basketball tournament.
Now it’s a new $2 million Head Start facility that will open this fall. Phase 2 of the school plans are falling into place – $2 million in educator housing and a $2 million sports complex for football, baseball and track.
Then it’s a $2 million Tribal administration office to allow local tribal members to do business via satellite with the New Town administration office. Then there’s a $12 million community center with a new rec center An elder tribal center of about $3.5 million will be breaking ground this spring.
