Acute Housing Situation In Killdeer, North Dakota, Oil Patch Being Addressed

The Dickinson Press is reporting:

With the oil development in the area, Killdeer lately has just been trying to catch up — and these developments will help, he said Monday at the groundbreaking for the town’s third hotel.

He said he hopes a nearly 80-acre residential and commercial development a half-mile east of town will offer affordable housing.

But Reading Overstreet of developer ParcGate says that’s out of the question, at least for the first of two apartment complexes going up on the site.

Overstreet said the 200- to 250-unit furnished and unfurnished apartments will serve employees of industries growing because of the boom — like teachers — as far as 50 to 60 miles from Killdeer.
