Judge Rules Sturgis Can Challenge Buffalo Chip Incorporation
STURGIS, S.D. (AP) — A judge has ruled the city of Sturgis can challenge a decision to approve Buffalo Chip Campground's petition to incorporate.
The campground became an incorporated town last spring. The judge ruled Friday in favor of Sturgis. Buffalo Chip asserted Sturgis didn't have legal standing to challenge the decision by Meade County commissioners.
County commissioners voted in February 2015 to allow the campground to move forward in its bid to become a town. Voters confirmed it in an election.
A trial in Sturgis' appeal is tentatively set to begin May 11, which is close to the anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Buffalo Chip.
