Burgum Announces Energizing Our Communities Plan in kickoff to 2022 Main Street ND Summit

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum today announced proposed investments in community development to help cities attract and retain workforce as he kicked off the 2022 Main Street ND Summit with a keynote address at the Bismarck Event Center.

The Energizing Our Communities plan announced by Burgum includes multiple proposals totaling over $20 million that will be brought to the state legislature for consideration next year.

“This plan will energize our towns, cities and counties as they work to enhance smart, efficient infrastructure, create healthy, vibrant communities and diversify the economy – all to attract new residents to North Dakota and help retain our youth and existing workforce,” Burgum said. “Over the next two months, we will work with legislators to refine these and other proposals to address workforce challenges across every industry in our state.”
