flag Chamberlain, South Dakota, is giving away free residential lots to address a housing shortage hindering economic growth and workforce recruitment. flag The city, which spent $4 million on infrastructure for a 60-acre tract since 2018, awarded 11 buildable lots via lottery to individuals or developers committed to building homes within 18 months. flag Seven homes have been constructed so far in the Smokey Groves Addition, with prices between $330,000 and $630,000. flag Recipients gain $15,000 to $20,000 in instant equity, improving loan affordability. flag The initiative, backed by city leaders and residents, aims to strengthen the tax base and support schools and hospitals. flag Despite contractor delays, the project reflects a long-term strategy to attract development in a small town where private investment has been limited.
