Contractors in northeastern Montana are building 72 mobile housing units in Miles City to alleviate what officials say is a serious housing shortage for oil field workers based in Bainville.

"We're out of room," said Garth Harmon of Blaze Enterprises, a Bainville native who is developing the camp. "We've got people already every place we can shove them."

Rob Shores of Signal Butte Builders said crews are building the housing units as quickly as possible.

My father and I enjoyed driving over to Bainville every so often when I visited this past summer; lots of activity along the highway which was also being widened.
