- ➤ A committee reviewing economic development finished work Friday and recommended that the City Council form a new Land Development Partnership Committee to boost housing development in Minot—this group would link landowners with developers and suggest incentives such as tax abatements and fee waivers to lower high costs. Paul Pitner said rising interest rates and steep development costs make it harder to build homes even as available properties sell quickly. Minot Daily News
- ➤ The Minot City Council backed off on hiring more firefighters after reviewing its budget plans — council members said they would study funding options before moving forward — and may reconsider the plan in upcoming meetings. KFYR-TV
