Wow, This Is Crazy -- Everyone Said The Bakken Was Dead; Moody's Downgraded Williston Because The Bakken Was Dying -- Now, The Brand New High School Not Big Enough; Two New Elementary Schools Needed -- How Will Debbie Downer Report This? -- February 15, 2018

This is absolutely crazy. Headline says it all.

From The Williston Herald:

• the brand new high school (not even open for one year yet? maybe two years?) already deemed too small?
• two new elementary schools to be built in Boomtown

Company to get the jobs: JE Dunn Construction. Woo-hoo!

The new Williston High School -- I think this is the first year it's been open; maybe two years -- it's huge -- it was designed during the boom -- one would assume they would have overbuilt based on data during the boom -- and here it is -- the high school needs an addition!

If you want to see the high school, go to this link, and then go to slide #25 or 35 slides. Another incredible Vern Whitten photograph.

I wonder if / how Debbie Downer will report this?

By the way, this comment from a reader close to the action in Williston just came in as a comment to another post:

Word has it around Williston there is a lot of hiring going on for completion personnel for major uptick here this spring.  

"Completion personnel" (frack spreads) -- talking about completing DUCs. I assume December is a slow month for completion. Once spring road restrictions are lifted, watch for some amazing numbers.
