Wisconsin-based Kohl's this week applied to Sioux Falls' building department for permits to erect a $4.3 million store that would be part of the Shoppes at Dawley Farms retail center on the city's east side.

According to the retailer's building plans, the new store would be 93,970 square feet. Ron Bell, Sioux Falls chief building official, said he expects his department to issue permits for the Kohl's store within the next four to six weeks.

Besides Kohl's, the Dawley Farm development also will include a 135,000 square-foot Target store.

Road graders have began moving earth for the Target and Kohl's stores. An official groundbreaking was held last month. Both retailers are expected to complete construction for openings next fall, according to Craig Lloyd, of Lloyd-Rickert Development. The entire Dawley retail center could top more than 500,000 square feet. http://argusleader.com
