Downtown Grand Forks

[SIOUXFAN97]

i like how city gov refers to federal money almost as free....i've been waiting for those light towers to finish up the streetscape in downtown gf...but...had no idea how damn expensive they were (per gf heraldo article that i can't find)...so the city canceled/postponed them because of the plandemic but are now revisiting ordering them...for a cost of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars thru Badman Studios?  wtf?

couldn't those "towers" be a high school project in shop?

how about grand forks welding?

Epic has equipment on site of the Old Townhouse hotel downtown.  They have a few renderings in their website.  Looks like there will be three, seven story buildings with a plaza in the middle.  Will be mixed residential and commercial.  There doesn’t appear to be a stage like in West Fargo at The Lights.  But with HB right across the street, Maybe that’s who they’d use if they decide to hold concerts there.  Link to the website:  https://epiccompaniesnd.com/properties/the-beacon/

If it's anything close to what West Fargo did it will be a home run.

Yep, I hope they just don't cut any corners or scale it back too much.  West Fargo nailed it.

HB Sound and Light.  They have staging and lights for concerts.

Would be cool to have a concert going on in this new plaza at the same time as another, different genre in Town Square.

The Argyle downtown on demers

not sure why they didn't do balconies on the corner apartments?

Do they track the population of downtown and what do they expect the increase to be after all the construction is complete

The Townhouse is no longer. I almost took a picture of it yesterday when I drove past it. I am kind of sad, no more beers in Muddy Rivers.

Had to be torn down and rebuilt because they made the lanes too narrow!  Nothing to do with Hugo’s not opening yet, in fact Alerus has been waiting for months for Hugo’s to open as Alerus cannot open it’s inside lobby until Hugo’s opens…and now this…oof!

Anyone take in some live music on the Greenway last weekend? HB did a great job and Saturday was a really good time!
