Souris Basin Community Builder Program
Souris Basin Planning Council (SBPC) eagerly serves the communities and counties within North Dakota Region 2 (Bottineau, Burke, McHenry, Mountrail, Renville, Pierce and Ward Counties).
SBPC has been a partner in progress for cities, counties, non-profits, businesses and individuals since 1972. We are a solutions-based team made up of entrepreneurs, elected officials, volunteers, and passionate staff. By listening to community members, we gain insight into the true needs and gaps of rural North Dakota. With community-driven discussions, we search for opportunities and resources to fill the gaps.
We can’t do this alone - we work alongside an array of partners and subject-matter experts to help advance the region.
Whether we’re finding money for an expanded lagoon for a city of 79 people, helping an entrepreneur launch their new business, finding resources for a low-income homeowner to get a new roof, or helping flood-impacted communities recover, our job is never done.
