From a building with a bunch of rooms where people sleep to a building with a bunch of rooms where people sleep. I'll take a leap and guess there's city infrastructure (street/water/sewer) to support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I guess GF is keeping with the governors ask to build up and not out because of the cost of infrastructure seems like there is a lot of room to expand around the alerus , don’t know what they will do with that farmstead that is directly south of the Alerus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 call me dumb but if there is demand for six or seven hotels around the alerus why didn't CANAD just build a 20 or 30 story hotel and grab all the demand/customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of your ideas are more batter than cake when they come out of the "oven". I must admit, this is a solid, marketable idea.

Cratter Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 I bet a lot of people would love to rent a boat/pontoon from there. If you ever been to Itasca State Park. They have a similar rental shop that is always busy. The proposed $300+ million gf sales tax, they should take some and build a real building and rent stuff year round.
