The Golden Valley County Planning and Zoning Commission members met Monday afternoon to discuss permits issued to work-camp housing. An amendment was passed that contained conditions for companies to establish facilities for workers.

“The county has been approached from several angles,” said Henry Gerving, Golden Valley zoning director. “The probability of a man camp being developed in Golden Valley is relatively high.”

The commission has met several times to discuss plans and policies for housing crew members for oil companies. The commission wants to be prepared for companies that make camps in Golden Valley County, said Gerving, and they want to be able to give them the correct information.
