Watford City has changed tremendously throughout the past couple of years due to the oil industry's "boom." It seems like there are always articles released about how the population has skyrocketed to meet the demands of oil jobs. In fact, The Glen at Hunter's Run recently shared an article on our social sites that explains how the city is changing it's goals to center around creating a "hometown" instead of a "boomtown." The city recently shared some other updates that reflect the changing landscape of our city.
Infrastructure Improvements
According to an article in the McKenzie County Farmer, McKenzie County plans to implement "System One (Water) Expansion" this summer, which will include the areas between Alexander and Tobacco Garden. The Geographical Information System Department (GIS) plans to document the existing structures in Watford City by taking aerial pictures of the city. Several road projects are also in the works, including Route 30 and County Road 53. For more information, click here.
Parks and Recreation Department Expansion
This year alone, the Parks and Rec Department has had to add new programs, including Learning to Fish, Adult Outdoor Soccer, Cheerleading and Gracie Combatives, and three new full-time staff members. There are also several parks projects in the works, including an in-line skate rink, softball complex and events center. For more information about these projects, click here.
New High School
While ground broke on the city's new high school last July, the city has just released an update that the construction is progressing on-schedule. According to KFYR-TV, more than 800 students are expected to enroll once the project is completed next January.
How The Glen at Hunter's Run Fits in
From the sounds of these changes and updates, Watford City is definitely transitioning to a "family hometown," something which we at The Glen at Hunter's Run are thrilled to be a part of. Our apartment homes are located just west of downtown Watford City, giving you and your family access to all of downtown's activities, while still allowing you to live within a quiet, residential area.
