Wolf Run Village in Watford City will soon house many essential services personnel including: emergency medical personnel, police officers, teachers and others who are committed to serving the needs of the community.
42 apartments: 24 one bedroom units and 18 two bedroom units will be constructed to the highest standards and will be available to rent furnished or unfurnished at affordable rates, some as early as August 2013. “The goal is to get the school teachers out of the portable trailers and into apartments before the new school year begins,” states Bakken Housing Partners Sales and Property Manager, Katie Walters.
Walters advises, “We are hoping to break ground in approximately three weeks.”
In addition to the apartments, a 15,000 square foot daycare facility will be opening before the end of the year. Wolf Pup Daycare Center will be a state-of-the-art facility with the most modern equipment. It will exceed the state daycare standards and will have the ability to take care of up to 200 children.
Gene Veeder, Executive Director of the McKenzie County Job Development Authority, comments “We’ve been trying for a number of years to put a daycare facility like this together and we’re hoping to have it completed before year end 2013. This will help enable some people to get back to work and with the afordable housing, we’re finally able to offer these service workers a decent place to live where they can bring their families and stay.”
Wolf Run Village will be located in the heart of Watford City, directly adjacent to the town’s playground and water park and opposite the Watford City elementary school. The project is made possible by the generous donations of the Roughriders, QEP Resources, Whiting Oil & Gas, Power Fuels and MBI Energy Services.
The Board of Directors continues to research grants and welcomes donations to complete the much needed project.
