In October, 2019 the new $270 million dollar Williston Basin International (XWA) Airport will open, leaving a 780-acre brownfield space available for new and expanding businesses. This improvement area, located near U.S. Highways 2 and 85, is a high priority redevelopment site for the city leadership.

The highly accessible site has not been plotted yet. However, a preliminary plan has been presented to the community for discussion purposes. This open design will allow developers and interested parties to look at how the location can meet their needs in conjunction with the needs of the community. The city will be connecting arterial roads once the airport is decommissioned and will be open to consideration of other infrastructure developments pending the location chosen for development.EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: As a former airport facility, access to the brownfield area is convenient for multiple types of use. The city will be completing arterial roads and the area has city water and sewer on the eastern part of the area. Access to these city services, along with electrical and fiber can be met throughout the 780 acres.
