Not judging but living in the Twin Cities, the term Nodak was basically used as a slur. Yes, Gofer fans can be mean.

I thought that was the Nextdoor app...

Chyzowski? You mean this guy?

And make sure you read it really S L O W for the Minnesota fans.

Take off, eh?

JDub27 and Cratter, why don't you guys just come over to my house and explain all this to me. The first couple rounds are on me.

Thanks for the clarification.

I get the risk/reward portion of this; the more you put in the more you stand to gain. (or lose) But if I'm the guy getting comped a soda, I sure don't want to see my property tax increase for additional infrastructure to support Mr Penthouse Suite's fabulous new business. Maybe I'm just mad because I would have loved to have a 20 year tax break for my business.

The new developments will be using TIF funds then? If so, is there any concern that the amenities provided (such as a golf simulator) will unfairly impact local business(es)? Sorry if I'm slow on this...

Catch me up on this one...the guy that runs the golf simulator wasn't thrilled that the city was offering tax breaks to his potential competition?

Dang, I was hoping to land one more big fish before the weekend!

So, we gonna see a bat signal anytime soon?

Is there such a thing as Summer Ledgies?

That vacancy rate is from the developer's own findings based on under a thousand units. The actual rate is believed to be closer to 5%.

I'm curious as to how quickly they will fill these upscale apartments.

I stand corrected; they are not just handing over briefcases filled with $100 bills...at least I hope they're not.

Hoping if there's an announcement tomorrow (bat signal) that it's more exciting than these jerseys.

That would never happen in GF...

What time you there? Might have just missed you.

People from Grand Forks? My understanding of this is that money from the city budget is being given to several developers to build luxury apartments on the south end of town. We're talking millions of $$$ here. Instead of letting the market dictate supply and demand, the city has decided to provide incentives to these select contractors to build super fancy and expensive apartments. These are not the kind of places UND students would live. Additionally, these projects don't have to pay any property taxes for 20 years (I believe). What a sweetheart deal! Meanwhile, the infrastructure costs for these new buildings will be absorbed by the current tax paying citizens. Get ready for multiple increases over the next few years! Watched the Grand Forks City Council meeting from this week on YouTube and it was quite eye-opening. Go to 3:35:00 for a perspective from a local GF businessman.

Yeah, he earned that one. Matt Greene with the follow up once they were both in camp with Edmonton.

Grand Forks taxpayers

Pauckovich, right?

I seem to remember they had to make a trip as the top seed to Mariucci a while back and ended up playing Minny...he can't still be butt-hurt over that?
