The BCJDA is a proud sponsor of the Mobile Career Exploration Classroom which was created with the intent to encourage local students to pursue careers within our region. So nice to see it in action in the county.

Honoring Bruce Terpening who was one of the founding members of the Benson County JDA and longtime chairman of the JDA. Bruce was extremely civic minded and worked tirelessly for the City of Maddock and Benson County. He was the driving force in the development of the Maddock Business and Technology Center and supported too many projects to mention. Our favorite quote from Bruce is “sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission”.
