The ribbon-cutting ceremony (in this case, a wood-cutting ceremony) for the Bakken Area Skills Center (BASC) in Watford City was held on Tuesday, April 16. Governor Doug Burgum attended the ceremony and spoke towards the success and hopefulness of the skills center. Alongside Gov. Burgum was Superintendent Dr. Steve Holen and other esteemed guests who shared their insights on the significance of this center for our community.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project, from the planning and construction stages to the grand opening. Your dedication has made the BASC a reality, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact it brings to our community’s future!
