Dickinson Growth: Needs ~ $200 Million In Infrastructure To Continue Growing

The Dickinson Press is reporting:
“We are basically at capacity right now in terms of our infrastructure,” said City Attorney Matt Kolling. “The $192 million in projects — the 27 projects that Mr. Kessel talked about — that is required in order for the city basically to service our current city limits, in order to extend out into some of those areas that have been annexed recently.
“We don’t have $192 million right now. We’re working with our bond council and some of our other lending authorities to raise some of that capital in order to put these projects in the ground, but until they’re put in the ground, most of those areas — new areas within the city — are not buildable because we don’t have the capacity for it.”
Two subdivisions, Buffalo Bend in north Dickinson and Medora Meadows in northwest Dickinson, received a continuance of final platting, per city staff recommendation at Wednesday morning’s meeting.
