More than a dozen other large South Dakota projects were funded by the same controversial visa program used by the Northern Beef Packers Plant that is now bankrupt and under an apparent federal investigation.Projects including a power plant, several dairies and a Black Hills hotel and casino were funded entirely or in part by wealthy foreigners who invested $500,000 each in exchange for green cards through the federal EB-5 program, the Argus Leader reported. Many of those projects are successful enterprises, but at least one other is a failure.

Former officials of the Northern Beef Packers plant have said federal investigators have been asking questions about the financial dealings and EB-5.
