Whiting $800,000 Building Permit Southeast of Belfield -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

About a mile south of Belfield, North Dakota, on US-85, and then a mile east, it looks like Whiting is building something fairly substantial.

According to the second page of the November, 2011, report of building permits for the city of Dickinson, Whiting has a $784,000 commercial permit.

It may have something to do with the new natural gas plant south of Belfield. 

For some folks: $800,000 might seem like a lot, but it's not much in the big scheme of things. A four-semi garage/industrial shop might be built for that amount. 

The specific address:

• 13072 38th Street Southwest, Belfield, North Dakota

The mile south and then a mile east of Belfield comes from a Google maps search. It's been my experience that Google maps is often in error when it comes to these rural addressed, although this one seems straightforward.

This is the kind of thing that I often misread or misunderstand, and I certainly don't know what $800K might buy in the Belfield area, so take this with a grain of salt, until others verify it.

A huge thank you to Don for bringing this to my attention. I am always impressed what Don finds.
