Tourism doesn’t just happen—it’s built, often piece by piece, by local ideas and community effort. In Williams County, that effort just got a boost. The 2025 Tourism Grant Program is now accepting applications, offering $80,000 to support events, advertising, and capital projects that draw visitors and showcase the region. From expanded facilities to fresh events, the goal is simple: help the county thrive by giving people a reason to stop, stay, and explore.
Why does this matter in Minot? We need to be watching what our neighboring cities and communities are up to, and in Williston, they’re working on making themselves more attractive. That starts with an investment.
