Welcome<br />
to Vermillion<br />
welcome to vermillion<br />
Vermillion is honored to have<br />
the opportunity to welcome you<br />
to our fine city! I am extremely<br />
pleased and privileged to be<br />
serving as Vermillion’s mayor.<br />
We invite you to visit the wide<br />
array of restaurants, specialty<br />
shops, and businesses located in<br />
our Historic Downtown as well<br />
as the assortment of eateries,<br />
museums, galleries, and other<br />
services found along Cherry<br />
Street and on Highway 50. We<br />
are proud to be the home of<br />
the University of South Dakota,<br />
an extremely important part of<br />
our community since 1862. The<br />
cultural, educational, research and<br />
athletic opportunities offered by<br />
USD are very much appreciated and<br />
are a special part of Vermillion. As<br />
a special note, the world renowned<br />
National Music Museum resides on<br />
the campus of USD.<br />
Vermillion was named the 2014<br />
Large Community of the Year by<br />
Gov. Dennis Daugaard. We are<br />
extremely proud of this award,<br />
and aim to build on our goals of<br />
excellence in the State of South<br />
Dakota.<br />
Our wonderful Prentis Park is set<br />
to undergo major improvements,<br />
including a state-of-the-art<br />
swimming pool that will include<br />
a lazy river, floatable water walk,<br />
basketball hoop, water slides, and<br />
much more! Another exciting new<br />
project is our beautiful Bliss Pointe<br />
housing development. With all<br />
of this wonderful growth in our<br />
community, Vermillion is set for a<br />
flourishing and prosperous future.<br />
We hope you enjoy your stay in<br />
Vermillion, where we are close to<br />
everything, but far from ordinary!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
John E. (Jack) Powell<br />
Mayor<br />
