Keeping It Local: Bill Aims to Save North Dakota’s Rural Grocery Stores
In small towns across North Dakota, a grocery store is more than a place to shop—it’s a lifeline. But as rural stores disappear, communities are left with fewer options and longer drives for essentials. Senate Bill 2228 aims to change that, offering $1 million in grants to help struggling stores stay open. For places like Hawk’s Market in Kindred, the bill could mean much-needed renovations and long-term stability. Without support, some residents may face a 30-minute drive just to pick up groceries—a trip not everyone can make.
Hunter Schwartz with Inforum has the full story. Bill details can be found below.
