Watford City is moving from vision to action on its long-talked-about downtown revival. City leaders have advanced a redevelopment plan for North Main Street, aiming to build a destination that reflects what residents asked for in last year’s community survey. A new $500,000 state grant helps launch two major pieces: a multi-level commercial hub and a flexible Main Street Square designed for events, vendors, and gathering. With demolition planned for 2026 and fundraising ahead, the city is leaning into the idea that a strong downtown can anchor community life. M.K. French with McKenzie County Farmer has the full story.
