January 19, 2025: internet search suggests no huge cinema complex at Sand Creek, western side of Williston.

Original Post

When this story is put on the internet, I will link it. Maybe it's already there, and I missed it.

For now, this front page story in weekend edition of the Williston Herald: housing summit to be held in Williston to discuss building 5,000 more homes in Williston over the new two years.

In addition to that read on.

From the Minot Daily News, 1,344 more homes and 157-room hotel, new retail north of Williston. This is so big, the governor himself will be there:

Ground will be broken Tuesday for a 100-acre development for retail, housing and a hotel in Williston.

The developer, North by Northwest Development LLC, will unveil the future home of the site at Chandler Field, on the frontage of the main arterial of U.S. Highways 2 and 85.

The site has been approved for 223,400 square feet of retail, 1,344 multifamily units and a 157-room hotel.
Then this, from a reader, sent in as a comment, and more to follow, I'm sure:
There is also a development by Braxton that will be developing the acreage between the Fairground Road and 42nd street. That was supposed to be a 600 unit mix with club house. They are the same developers the built the Microtel and Hampton Suite hotels.  
And, of course, "old news" (about three days old):
Ground was broken Thursday for Sand Creek Town Center, also on the west side of Williston.
Sand Creek will include a 14-screen movie theater and Menards. Other businesses are expected to be added to the facility.
