Update On Sloulin International Airport -- Williston Wire -- April 17, 2015
Sloulin:
A
world-renowned development firm will take the lead on an 800-acre
project located in the Center of Williston. The City of Williston has
selected Cardon Development Group (CDG) to rehabilitate and redevelop
the Sloulin Field International Airport site after its operations are
moved to a proposed new location. The Williston City Commission formalized the selection committee's recommendation on Tuesday, April 14th, 2015. The
City of Williston will work closely with CDG throughout the
redevelopment process. Williston Mayor Howard Klug said the City looks
forward to the collaboration. "This
is probably the largest public-private project Williston has ever
seen," said Klug. "Cardon will bring with it world-class knowledge to
Williston."
Sloulin empanelments:
Enplanements in North Dakota and Sloulin Field International Airport
were up slightly in March 2015 compared to one year ago. According to
the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, boardings in Williston were
29,893 compared to 27,342 in 2014. Enplanements statewide were about 500
higher than 2014 from 313,450 in 2015 to 312,918 in 2014.
McKenzie County:
With lower revenue generated from the Gross Production Tax and the
unanticipated higher cost of the Law Enforcement Center project, the
McKenzie County Board of Commissioners was facing a $61.8 million
shortage in the projected overall General and Road & Bridge budgets
over the next two years. "After a long day and a lot of discussion at
the commissioner's meeting on April 7, the commissioners passed several
resolutions," said Linda Svihovec, McKenzie County auditor and acting
treasurer. "The commissioners decided to finance a $60 million loan for
the Law Enforcement Center project," said Svihovec.
