Two of the largest unfinished 2012 projects got the go-ahead Tuesday to begin design work.

The city Public Works Committee approved requests from Rapid City Soccer and the Alliance of Tribal Tourism Advocates to negotiate for professional design services for their respective projects: a 25-field soccer facility and a Native American art market and powwow grounds.

The city has set aside $3.8 million in 2012 funds for the soccer facility, which will be on Elk Vale Road.

ATTA has been allotted $812,000 for the powwow grounds and art market north of The Journey Museum.
