4-6 new businesses (and/or existing ones expanding). 4-6 new businesses in Grand Forks? What are they? Thanks!

I don't want to wish away time, but I can't wait.

Going back to this article, it looks like the UAS industry will give Grand Forks the shot in the arm it needs: UAS jobs were at 438 in Grand Forks in 2018, and leaders expect that number to reach 1,000 in the next couple of years. https://www.inforum.com/business/technology/4487413-north-dakota-unmanned-aircraft-industry-takes LM Windpower also announced they are adding around 200 jobs within the last year. It's not all doom and gloom because Grand Forks isn't keeping up with Fargo. Could it do better? Probably.

I am just confused where the retractable roof stadium will go?

Time to get it built

Yes, most people I know never even think of Fat Albert's. Grand Junction is really good too but like you, I tend to forget about it. I have heard really good things about Scotty's Deli but have yet to go.

Do yourself a favor if you're in Grand Forks and hit up Fat Albert's. The Crunchy Po-Boy Taco sub changed my life..

I'm also wondering if moving an OL is part of their plan.

I am really surprised they haven't at least brought in someone to at least add depth at practice at the NG position. I get that they want to find the right fit, but at this point they at least need another body, preferably a big one.

Exactly

Northern Plains Railroad to open new Grand Plains Rail Center "Haug predicts that “probably a couple of dozen excellent jobs” will be involved in the Grand Plains Rail Center." https://www.grandforksherald.com/business/3830666-Northern-Plains-Railroad-to-open-new-Grand-Plains-Rail-Center

I too am still wondering who will play NG

Looks like Danielson had a walk-on football offer from Nebraska. Must be a pretty good athlete

Another building on the lot two doors down from the condos you referred to above, on the corner of Demers and 4th. Also a six story building near the Herald with commercial space and a couple hundred apartments. I think the St Johns building (across from town square) is getting a complete overhaul. Another apartment building near the Townhouse Hotel. And a complete revamp of the street and town square. I think there's more i am missing.

They demolished tens of buildings over the past few years.

I know I missed a few: Old president's building. The building being turned into the new data science center or whatever - Babcock? I thought there was talks about Merrifield being renovated as some time, too? And then there is talk about a new STEM facility in the Hyslop, and a few multi-use, private-public partnership buildings along university.

Sports were cut years ago due to budget reductions from the state. UND is building a brand new union, renovating the library, will get a new business school, and that's on top of new Wilkerson, med school, HPC, Engineering school, education building, Robin Hall, among others in the last 5 years. Med school enrollment is increasing as is aerospace. A lot of what you said is based on perception of those certain situations..

Most American cities the size of Grand Forks would love to have the type of transformation going on, especially downtown, that Grand Forks has seen and will continue to see over the next few years. It just so happens that the cities in the region that Grand Forks is being compared to are experiencing far above average growth.
