    Sheesh....these guys are from Las Vegas and southwest US. I wonder if they are planning to over-build the area.

    1. No evidence of over-building in Minot at the present time. Personal correspondence suggests this new building is needed for flooding of two (?) years ago; they are still way behind on that. In addition, Air Base personnel are struggling for affordable housing. There is too much activity by companies like HAL and BHI in Minot and yet there is not yet much drilling activity. Something is going on. Look at the size of the airport they plan to build. Government won't fund airports unless they can forecast need.

      Nothing suggests to me that they are overbuilding in Minot yet.
