forksandspoons Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Really positive for the Air Force Base, Grand Forks and UND. Hoeven says there will be growth, but doesn’t elaborate. Still, an investment this large in GFAFB is huge.

Why are they dragging their feet; was supposed to be open in the spring. The apartments on the upper floors have been occupied since June 1st. Hugo’s doesn’t even make any mention of this new store on their Facebook page or their website…strange lack of marketing for a huge investment. Still not open and still no mention of it opening on any of Hugo’s media sites…wtf is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 i know someone said our soil is sandy which is why it's more expensive to go to high with these new downtown buildings....but isn't the beacon far enough from the river to where instead of 3 seven story buildings couldn't they just do 2 ten or so story buildings?
