Mayor Paul TenHaken wants a City Hall that
innovates its way out of persistent challenges
like affordable housing, public transportation
and government budgeting.
He’s already created an Innovation and
Technology Department, found room in the
budget for an innovation manager and now is
piloting a data analyst position to boot.
But the job isn’t costing Sioux Falls taxpayers
a single dime as Nico Diaz, the 29-year-old
Harvard University graduate student, is on
loan from the Bloomberg Institute, doing data
analytics for the city on the Bloomberg’s dime.HARVARD STUDENT
