Statewide since 2010--North Dakota has seen a large increase in the number of Hotels being built.
- In 2010: eight (8) new hotels/motels
- in 2011: twelve (12) new hotels/motels; nine (9) in western North Dakota
- 2012, through first half of the year: twenty (20) new hotels/motels
- coming: thirty-four (34) new hotels/motels publicly announced or under construction in western North Dakota
I don't know about you, but after awhile I start to become "numb" to these numbers. But, if you step back, catch a breath, and really look at these numbers, it's incredible. I thought we had seen the boom in hotels/motels, and it would end this year, but halfway through the year, almost double last year's (20 vs 12), and then we see the next number: 34.
I still find it quite incredible. A big thank you to KXNews for tracking this.
