WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) _ Officials are launching a project to turn
a historic building in Williston into affordable housing for senior
citizens.
The old junior high school in the oil boom city is being
converted into 44 low-income apartments for seniors and space for
community events. A groundbreaking was scheduled Tuesday.
The school building was built in 1931 and has been shuttered for
several years. It is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
The $10.6 million redevelopment project is getting federal,
state and local funding and is slated to be completed in about a
year. The building is being renamed the Lutheran Social Services
Legacy Living at Central Place.
