Heard a quote today, "Grand Forks is like a shack with a dirt floor who talks about getting a hot tub." Wreck your car on the roads in Grand Forks getting to an underfunded school system, while the city leaders are busy extending curbs downtown, trying to build a new library, a million dollar light project, and kissing more of the governors butt with downtown vibrancy initiatives: Fiscal mismanagement with our leaders in GF. UND now the school board should we be surprised. More of the same. Build a Drone Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Here comes the city to bail out the Herald building? They seem to be taking it upon themselves to do whatever they can to move something into the building. Quote "It would be part library, it would be a hangout spot during the day, it would be many things that we want it to be," Feland said. The city has also engaged in conversations with UND, he said, as they university has expressed an interest in participating as long as the space aligns with campus resources and student needs. If you have to use the phrase "hangout spot during the day," you probably should save the money for something more useful. Normally there's a need for something and then you build it to accommodate those needs. In Grand Forks build (or rent) it and they'll (the need) come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both buildings would have close up views and access to the Greenway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If the bones of the Herald building are good, repurposing it is a great idea. Rather than build a library why not use that existing building. If some street-level retail could be put in, all the better. Does GF Central need additional space? Does City Hall need space? That building is right there for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have thought they’d have been smart enough to know you need specialized tinted windows. when you build an east west facing building with nothing to block the sun (terminal) too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Quote Kuntz said UND has discussed moving into the space only if the city signs a lease. UND has not come to a decision yet and has not set a date for when the university expects to discuss moving into the Herald building. The Herald building, at 375 2nd Ave. N, is currently owned by Forum Communications Co. and the family of Bill Marcil Sr. and Bill Marcil Jr. If the city agrees to sign a lease for the Herald building, then Kuntz, founder of Community Contractors Inc., Craig Tweten and the Marcils would enter into an ownership group where each owns the building. The partnership of the three groups of investors will be called the Herald Communications Center. If the city decides against moving into the building, this purchase agreement would fall through.
