Bakken facility provides home-style accommodations for 334 workers
Target Logistics, the largest turnkey workforce housing provider in the United States, will hold the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of its Watford City Lodge on Thursday, February 21 at 5:30 PM. The lodge is designed to accommodate the ever-growing workforce in the Bakken and now provides much-needed housing for 334 oil, gas and pipeline workers – with an additional 300 bedrooms planned for this summer.
