Black Hills Vision (BHV) is a regional economic development organization committed to advancing the region’s quality of life and creating an economic development “opportunity environment.”

BHV was conceived by three local and regional community groups: Black Hills Community Economic Development Inc., the Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Rapid City Area Economic Development Partnership.  It was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2004. 

A capital fundraising campaign was completed in February 2005 with five-year pledges from over 115 investors. Thirty-six of these investors made commitments in excess of $50,000 and became members of the BHV Board of Directors, which includes seven mayors, four county commissioners, and business leaders from banking, utilities, publishing, healthcare, retail, manufacturers, chamber and economic development organizations.
