Sunday Morning Links; Building Permits Exceed $400 Million This Year; Home of Economy Opens in Minot

Links sent in by readers, thank you.

From the Minot Daily News:

• Home of Economy opens new Minot store. Just in time for winter. Absolutely the best store in Williston/Minot for winter clothing.
• Old Williston school --- "Williston Junior High" -- to become apartments for seniors. 

From the Green Bay Press Gazette:

• Menard's is flying workers to Minot to staff store; previously reported

From The Bismarck Tribune:

• Williston permits exceed $400 million in 2012; more than Fargo and Minot combined; city will annex another 5,000 acres --> 13,000 acres for Williston [see this link comparing previous year's permitting stats]

Place under "EPA" in the "dog bites man" file cabinet in the basement

• From the Sidney Herald, study finds EPA regulations harm state's economy

This is a two-fer: The Dickinson Press gets to tweak the nose of the oil industry/Williston while sharing a nice human interest story. We don't often get these two-fers.  The Dickinson Press reports that the sky is the limit for a young Cody, Wyoming, man repairing windshields in Williston.
