Oliver County

We can use them all.

So we're recruiting people to come back to North Dakota that left for one reason or another, but we're going to be working hard on continuing that within the state at our other campuses, Oliver County, Harwood, and certainly Allendale, so.

Well, Dave, just like you just said, the adage was, especially in rural America, get your education, get out of here, because there's no future.

Now there's a future.

And again, that's going to help build community again.

And so, Dave, I want to dig in a little bit more with when you're approaching a community and you're looking at citing it, how do you work from your side to meet those needs like Don just talked about where you're fitting in with the community and reaching them where they are? Do you do outreach or talk me through that a little bit?

Well, I can tell you about Oliver County because I've only been with the company since February this year, but that was high on our priority list was to find another site in Western North Dakota in a rural community that could use what we offer as far as revenues, jobs, a future, those types of things.

And so we had a number of opportunities possibilities, I'd say.

Serious topic at hand, but I think we need to take a step back.

The reason why, because we'll talk about the data center or AI center, right? Whether that's in Harwood, Ellendale, Oliver County, wherever it might be, people will often ask them, well, what is it? You know, what's going to be there? And I'll explain.

And I think the same thing can be said for AI, the open models.

I think sometimes I get ahead of myself thinking people are as in tune to this conversation of what it is, and they might not have a full understanding.

From Liberty Road down the hill a little bit, there was a wreck there from early this morning at the ramp at the Beltway at I-95 on the Arbutus side.

Oliver County rolled up on a wrecked Pulaski Highway.

I think it's just west of Martin Boulevard, maybe off to the side.

A tree has fallen blocking the ranked lane on the BW Parkway northbound north of Powder Mill Road.
