SiouxVolley Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 http://www.thebakken.com/articles/854/badlands-ngl-considering-locations-byproducts-for-new-plant Our own Patrick Miller has written a nice article about where the Polyethylene plant could be located. Apparently, all the water used will be internally recycled, as no wastewater will be generated. The hydrogen generated could be used for a fertilizer plant. The CO2 generated could be recovered as food grade material (soda pop). Looks like Beulah would fit the criteria, as it built a fertilizer addition. Jamestown could also be in the mix. Maybe Morton County. Think the only way Grand Forks will be in the mix is if Hess builds a pipeline to supply propane to the Mentor caverns, and ethane is separated in GF. Probably a very long shot.

Goon Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 This year there are so many ballot measures I might have to spend a night reading all of them. Quote
Snake Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 This year there are so many ballot measures I might have to spend a night reading all of them. You mean you don't just take the U.S. congressional approach and vote for it to find out what's in it? Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Thought for the day…when the closeout store goes out of business, where does their unsold merchandise go? http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/around-town-closeout-store-closing Quote
Cratter Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 That building needs something like an indoor skate park or minigolf. Retail just seems like it will never work in that building. Quote

The merchandise was, ahem, unique. Quote
westsidesioux Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I am honestly surprised that place lasted as long as it did. The merchandise was, ahem, unique. That place is still there? My wife drug me in there when we were in town before the UND-Montana football game...in 2012. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 If HHS and DOD would pay for testing and stockpiling Avianax's Ebola antibodies, that could be huge for GF. Such a move would prompt Wall Street to pump money into the company, giving it the option to pursue other immune challenges, including cancer. http://www.valleynewslive.com/story/27155894/grand-forks-company-team-with-government-on-ebola-cure Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Yesterdays Herald had an article on the shortage of office space in Gf. Apparently, downtown might get two new buildings, one by JLG and one by the Edgewood Group, which has offices in Grand Forks but is growing its collection of assisted care facilities across right states. The Edgewood Group may build as high as eight stories. Downtown hasn't really seen much growth for years, other than condos and apartments. Quote
GDPritch Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 New hotel going up just south of Liberty Lanes. Don't recall the name but I believe it is a chain hotel. Apartment complex directly across the street from City Hall is completed, I believe. That's about all I've seen around EGF.Agree, that's about it but you know, for a city of 9k that's got a sister city 6x larger right next door & with the benefits of ND's robust economy it actually does quite well with it's boardwalk of restaurants/bars by the river, busy multi-plex movie theater and Cabella's downtown. On some days (wknd) the huge parking lot adjacent to the levee/state campground is pretty plumb full. Quote

SiouxVolley Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 In a recent WSJ article, Thief River Falls' job market was highlighted, mainly because Digi Key is growing fast, adding about 500 jobs a year. A graphic showed that Grand Forks jobs have declined since 2009. But why is there such growth in the housing market? Is it all people that are working in the oil patch or in TRF? Even Fargo's job growth is anemic according to the WSJ. http://www.wsj.com/articles/in-job-islands-work-is-plentiful-but-the-workers-are-not-1424977919 Quote

MrEdway Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I get why Wal-Mart wanted to be close to I-29, but I continue to be surprised that there's not more retail development on the east side of the Red. Between the zero sales tax on clothing and the open before noon on Sundays, you would think that would be a draw. Not to mention $500,000 business loans that you don't have to pay back! Quote
Vegas_Sioux Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Not to mention $500,000 business loans that you don't have to pay back! Too soon to bring up sweet heart deals like that to the mayors family. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Too soon to bring up sweet heart deals like that to the mayors family. its never too soon to bring that up. the family is a bunch of crooks, always have been..... Quote
SiouxForever Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 So Al Grill is closing up soon. He is retiring. Anyone hear any rumors on what is replacing that North End restaurant? Be a damn shame if a franchise comes in there! Quote

gfhockey Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Moon got bought by Scotty purpur Als wony be a bar and grill again. Quote
SiouxForever Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Moon got bought by Scotty purpur Als wony be a bar and grill again. You sure? "Decker said the property, located at 3615 Gateway Drive, would not be a restaurant or bar in the future." Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 A bar is not an economy. Oh great and wise #gobc gfhockey , what is the #gobc doing to create a real economy, real jobs and growth in Grand Forks. Quote
