Two
new businesses marked their first day of business in Williston on
Friday. Sportsman's Warehouse and Riddle's Jewelry held so-called "soft"
openings. Both retail businesses are located in the Sand Creek Town
Centre. Sportsman's Warehouse will have a ribbon cutting and official
grand opening on Saturday, July 11th.
As Williston's population continues to grow, its fire chief says there
is a need for another station to provide timely response to
emergencies. Jason
Catrambone said the Williston City Commission purchased property on
58th Street to build the estimated $5.5 million station. It is planned
to be completed in July of 2016.
First-quarter taxable sales and purchases,
including those related to oil and mining, increased despite lower oil
prices. Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger said he was surprised by
the 2.2 percent increase in mining and extraction taxable sales. He had
expected quarterly growth to level or decrease compared to last year.
"So that's good news," he said. Overall taxable sales and purchases were
up as well to $5.826 billion, a 2.26 percent increase over 2014.
