Walmart plans store in Mandan
By Brian L. Gray
After four years in the making, plans are falling in place for a Walmart Supercenter to be built in Mandan.
The new supercenter is expected to be located at the northeast corner of the Old Red Trail and Sunset Drive in the Terra Vallee area.
Walmart Spokesman Ryan Irsik says Walmart will submit site and building plans by late February. If approved and built, the Walmart Supercenter will be approximately 150,000 square feet and will employ approximately 250 associates with the majority of those jobs being full-time.
The Bismarck-Mandan Development Association reports that Walmart is still in the very early stages of the approval process and does not have a construction timeline. At this time Walmart representatives are working on a variety of permits, final due diligence on the site, site engineering, final store design and related detail. A recent BMDA report states that “although the project is not a 100 percent go, it would appear fairly certain barring any unforeseen event occurring.” Continue…

Ag disaster assistance now includes Morton County
The state’s disaster declaration has been expanded to include Morton and six additional counties where North Dakota farmers sustained crop production losses due to flooding, frost and other damages.
“Farmers and ranchers faced a host of weather-related production losses which prevented the planting of a record 5.6 million acres of productive farmland,” Governor Jack Dalrymple said. “This expanded disaster declaration makes more producers eligible for assistance.”
Dalrymple asked U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Sept. 22 to issue a Secretarial Disaster Declaration for all counties that experienced significant production losses. On Oct. 25, Vilsack declared 42 counties primary disaster areas. Based on crop damage assessments, the USDA has now expanded the disaster declaration to include the counties of Morton, Adams, Bowman, Burleigh, Logan, Slope and Stark. Continue…
