Now showing expected Q2 2021. Could this be another Target Stores location? There's a Target about 1 mile west of I-29... Edit: There's also a Hy-Vee a bit west of the Target
Quoted directly from the Supercharge Info forum. Further discussion can continue here: "Watertown Municipal Utilities in Watertown SD (605-882-6233) has a permit for a new Tesla supercharger in Watertown. The permit was issued last year. I spoke with an engineer there who confirmed the chargers would be located at Hy-Vee in the NW corner of the parking lot. Due to Covid, they delayed the construction till this spring. supposed to be 8 chargers." Permit for Watertown SD supercharger
