South Heart -- Developer Looks At Site For Housing Development -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Updates

February 29, 2012: another developer looks at South Heart as a potential site for another housing development.

City Councilman Chuck Andrus said James Perdaems of South Heart informed the council in early February that a developer offered to purchase a 78-acre tract of his land, east of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Andrus believes the unknown developer might be interested in building housing, which he said is now a “big field.”

Andrus added that Perdaems wants to learn more about city infrastructure requirements before moving forward.

“(Perdaems) has, I believe, sold land to a developer, and they want it annexed into the city,” Andrus said Monday.

The Dickinson Press points out that the mayor feels "brick and mortar style housing" is better than the alternative. Whatever that may be.
