Open to everyone, but built primarily for its own workers.
  •  "For us it's a key step, because as we came here over a year ago, we knew we had to solve our own problem, not add to the problem," said Kevin Burke, president and CEO of Burke Construction. "The precursor to us planting our flag in this community is this facility you're looking at."
Data points:
  • $105/night vs $200/night for Williston motels; drops to $90/night for stays at least 30 days
  • Boxed breakfast, free laundry
