In a recent meeting of the Williams County Board of County Commissioners, significant steps were taken to support local housing development, reflecting a growing demand for residential construction in the area. The board approved amendments to existing programs and discussed a builder assistance application from Denali Building Group, aimed at enhancing infrastructure in the Harvest Hills neighborhood of Williston.

The board unanimously approved funding requests totaling $31,600 to assist with essential water, sewer, and sidewalk installations for eight new properties. This funding is expected to facilitate the construction of homes, addressing the increasing need for housing in the community. The approval was met with enthusiasm, as commissioners recognized the efforts of Lindsay and her team in driving this initiative forward.

Additionally, the meeting highlighted a surge in building activity, with the city’s building department reporting over 50 permit applications in just one week—significantly higher than the typical 30. This uptick in interest suggests that the county's housing programs are resonating with potential builders and residents alike.

The board's decisions not only aim to improve infrastructure but also reflect a commitment to fostering community growth and development. As the county continues to support housing initiatives, residents can anticipate a positive impact on local living conditions and economic opportunities.
