Williston s Water Resource Recovery Facility UPCOMING PROJECTS The City of Williston has several upcoming projects that for many City Engineers are a once in a lifetime leadership opportunity. Our newly completed Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) is the first municipal facility of its kind in North Dakota. The WRRF has achieved a Class A level rating for its treatment of biosolids and has been designed as a long-term solution for the city. As a city that has experienced tremendous growth and continues to grow at almost four times that of the national average, the City of Williston is committed to constructing state-of-the-art municipal facilities that will fit the needs of our rapidly growing community for years to come. Completing the WRRF was only the beginning as we prepare for the future. Rendering of the upcoming Public Works Facility In June 2018, the City of Williston broke ground for the new Public Works facility, which will also house the Engineering department once completed in the fall of 2019. The new facility will be built adjacent to the current building; this is part of the City s commitment to redevelop underutilized spaces.

Rendering of Williston s new international airport, XWA Construction for XWA has already started and the new facility is set to open in October 2019. When it does, XWA will be the first new international airport to open in the United States in 12 years. Rendering of Williston Basin International Airport (XWA)

When XWA is complete, our current international airport, Sloulin Field, will go offline leaving 800 developable acres in the middle of Williston. The City of Williston has already begun working with consulting firms to form development ideas. As the City of Williston considers its plans for the future we have also had to consider how American cities and communities are changing. Our goal is to create strong, vibrant, sustainable communities where people can work, live, and play; mixed-use zones and walkable communities are going to help us achieve this. At present, the City of Williston has envisioned three phases in the redevelopment of Sloulin Field. Phase 1 includes a new civic center, repurposing the existing terminal and aircraft hanger, the construction of a pedestrian promenade, and a mixed-use zone with retail and other businesses at street level with living spaces above. Communal features in the plan for the first phase include an outdoor amphitheatre and a four season water feature that will serve as an ice skating area during our colder months.
