Notes From All Over, Part 1 -- August 2, 2019

It's a slow news day. I usually don't post the highlights from the Williston Wire until I get caught up, over the weekend. But here we go.

Tourism: Williston's third largest industry. One word: wow. Link here.

• Fort Union Trading Post, the Walmart of its time
• Fort Buford
• the Confluence Interpretive Center (my personal favorite)

"Festival": this weekend, the Indian Arts Showcase and Pow Wow. 

XWA seeking more ultra-low-cost carrier. But no luck so far.

XWA billboards go up in western North Dakota.

Williston will extend 16th Avenue West and 42nd Street West, as part of the Sloulin Field Infrastructure Improvements initiative. The project contains approx 800 acres of developable land adjacent to the "Million Dollar Way" north of Williston, and the eponymous source of the name of this blog.

Watford City: a new housing development underway; a 144-acre residential subdivision to be located in close proximity to the Roughrider Center, Watford City high school and the new Watford City elementrary school.

Sidney: groundbreaking for a new Family Dollar store.
