Belfield Utilities "About Maxed Out"

The Dickinson Press is reporting:

A representative from American Landmark Group, which is planning a 42-acre “Belfield Crossing” multi-use development north of downtown, informed city representatives that the development would require new utilities infrastructure because the city is almost maxed out of power and natural gas.

Zoning members seemed somewhat surprised to hear how close the city was to being maxed out. But MDU Resources Group has plans for upgrades to both natural gas and electricity for Belfield.

Belfield Mayor Leo Schneider said he too didn’t know much about the city’s utilities situation until ALG brought it to the zoning board’s attention.

Belfield is the southern gateway to the North Dakota Bakken. Driving cross-country from the south, Belfield is always, always a welcome site: I know I am back home.
