Here We Go: 80-Room Hotel Near Dickinson -- South Heart -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Link here.
South Heart may soon be home to an 80-room hotel and other developments.

Centerra Development Co., Colorado-based, intends to open an office in Dickinson and develop commercial properties including a hotel, restaurant and apartment complex, said Tom Davidson, president of the company.

The hotel will have at least 80 rooms and will be constructed in north South Heart in the spring, 2012.
And then this,
The property, south of Highway 10, was a good place to begin in North Dakota, Tsiaperas said.

“It’s just kind of amazing the growth that’s going on up there,” said Kim Bradley, program manager. “It’s a huge black gold rush that’s going on right in your town and we’re all very excited.”

South Heart Mayor Floyd Hurt feels the city of about 310 people will welcome the development.
Any strategic planning, or just more of the same?

  4. Too funny. Truly laughing out loud.

    I was just ready to "close down shop" for the rest of the day and join my granddaughters for the rest of the day, but decided to check the mail one more time.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my day.

    1. I apologize if I sounded a bit negative with some of my comments today/yesterday regarding the anxiety folks are having about all the development.

      I really appreciate the upbeat tone of your note. Thank you for taking time to comment. Yes, the Bakken is changing so much.

  6. While all the hotel construction is good for the region, I sometimes wonder if it is a way around the "banned" mancamps in some areas. Willaims county imposes (along with Mountrail) on any new mancamps. Valu Place Extended Stays building a total of 4 - 124 unit hotels in Williston. Basically will be rented out as mancamps (disguised as hotels) But at least these are permanent structures that can be used for actual hotels or studio apartments in the future if needed. I still think they need to allow the mancamps to be built. But am also glad to see some new hotels and permanent structures.

    1. But as the faux-environmentalists will tell you, when the boom is over, the hotels/motels will be a blight. At least man-camps, by their very nature, would be dismantled and gone.
