I thought I read they are planning 1,000 of them. Grand Forks is the 356th largest metro in the country, so it's possible. I know Columbia Mall has availability. Quote

Additionally, there are plenty of cities smaller than Grand Forks that have Amazon warehouses. Quote

Wow that’s great news. This is the first legitimate new business moving to GF that I’ve seen in quite a long time. Hopefully there are more drone companies to follow. I can’t read the article so can someone tell me how many employees are expected? Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 after seeing ring's/amazon new mini drone for home security you wonder how small is the smallest drone that the us military uses right now...smaller than a fly and as quiet as a senior citizen during the lawrence welk show? Quote

Wasn't the new event center going be part hotel? I read not too long ago that event center is on hold, though.. 1 Quote
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Ground broken for a large commercial development at 40th & Columbia. Sign says "Koda Bank" coming soon. Had never heard of it, but it appears to be a small-town rural bank. Quote

They recently merged with Citizen State Bank Midwest so they have a branch in Bemidji as well. No idea what "Peak Bank" is, but Grand Forks has to be pushing it. 1 Quote
