Good morning, Minot.

A fire started in a storage room at the Baymont Hotel in southwest Minot Monday afternoon — the building's sprinkler system quickly extinguished the flames with no injuries reported while guests collected their belongings as the hotel closed for repairs and investigation.

Officials announced that the NAWS project experienced delays despite receiving two federal approvals — they plan to share updated timelines soon.

Minot’s Job Corps students are being moved off campus as the U.S. Department of Labor pauses programs until June 30; the phased transition has been extended to June 12, leaving fewer than 20 students on campus.

Tom Ross said the pause does not signal a permanent closure—staff and local partners are working to connect students with community resources during the move.

Minot voters narrowly rejected a half percent sales tax measure for the Park District with 979 votes against and 954 in favor (a 25-vote difference) on Tuesday, so the board will now work in maintenance mode and cancel plans for a new turf facility.

The city will canvass absentee ballots on June 16 to finalize the vote while keeping tax levels unchanged.
