PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Work is scheduled to start this month on an $8.4 million senior living complex in Pierre.

KCCR radio reports that the Edgewood Vista project will include 48 assisted living apartments, 20 apartments for people with memory problems, and amenities including a movie theater, chapel, spa and fitness center.
