Press Release for the New Truck Stop / Industrial Park North of Williston -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.

The link is via "The Williston Wire." I do not know how long these links "last."

Note: Granite Peak Development is the developer. Granite Peak has become Williston's de facto city planner and leading developer. GPD is out of Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

This is a press release, so generous "cut and paste":

Some 60 acres in the northwest corner of the Bakken Industrial Park will combine numerous truck related facilities to provide a home for the trucker in Williston including Love’s, a major truck plaza, a major truck wash, a large truck parking area, and a water truck depot that will diminish the need to go through Williston to get water for fracking.

The Love’s Travel Stop will cover nearly 10,000 square feet with a national fast food restaurant and a truck tire care center for professional truck drivers." There will be eight gas islands and eight diesel fuel dispensers as well as 100 truck parking spaces and a convenience store.

On a five acre site will be situated a a four-bay automated truck wash facility. Each bay will wash 18 wheels in 18 minutes. The site is large enough to allow truck staging on the site for those waiting to get through the wash, without blocking the road.

In recent months the 650 acre Bakken Industrial Park has started to take shape with roads and city water and sewer. “This is a major development when you extend city sewer service 5 miles to a project like this,” says Mayor Koeser.

As the infrastructure is completed in the Bakken Industrial Park, the businesses that will occupy the park are starting to become known and in 2012 there will be substantial construction to follow”, says Metzler.

In addition to truck facilities, the park will include space for commercial, industrial and workforce housing to provide a blend in a mix-use development.

The 650 acre park is located immediately south of the Springbrook-Epping turnoff (County Road 6) on US Highway 2 & 85 north of Williston.
