California company locates in S.D., but now finds itself short of people to work

A company that was enticed to come to Miner County is having trouble finding workers to fill key manufacturing positions and has asked Gov. Mike Rounds to help. The Knight and Carver Wind Blade Division plant in Howard officially opened in March in a 26,000 square foot building, hoping to employ upwards of 45 people within two years of operation. But as of this week, the company has around 10 workers — about 15 shy of where it wanted to be during the first year — and has been unable to increase its workforce.
