“It is an honor to be selected as the chair of the new organization. I’ve served on both the former Minot Area Chamber of Commerce and Minot Area Development Corporation boards and see many advantages in kicking off the year as one.” Knecht said. “It’s now time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. We owe it to the investors and members to look for ways to be as effective and efficient as one organization. I am looking forward to serving with the new board and the staff to serve our region.”
A second high school for the Minot school district could be a step closer.
At Thursday’s school board meeting, Superintendent Mark Vollmer said it is now time to seek an architectural firm to draw up a proposal for how to convert two former Cognizant office buildings into school space. The board gave unanimous approval to placing an advertisement in the newspaper seeking proposals from architectural firms.
Last June, Cognizant agreed to sell the two buildings and surrounding land at 2000 21st Avenue NW to the school district for the nominal fee of $10.
An architectural firm would be asked to explore what areas of the existing property might be repurposed and what additional building would be required for a second 9-12 high school.
