About the Event
Livestock Development: Final Report & Future Planning
Souris Basin Planning Council (SBPC) was awarded a Regional Livestock Development and Planning Grant by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA). This grant supports counties, townships, and regional planning councils in advancing livestock development efforts through site analysis and strategic planning. SBPC utilized this funding to conduct a regional site analysis focused on identifying locations that meet state siting and local zoning regulations and are positioned near key infrastructure to support animal agriculture production. The planning area includes Bottineau, Burke, McHenry, Mountrail, Pierce, Renville, and Ward Counties and Townships (ND Region 2). To carry out this work, SBPC partnered with the First District Association of Local Governments to lead the site analysis and planning process.
We are hosting the Livestock Development: Final Report & Future Planning meeting to share the findings of this study and foster meaningful dialogue. This event will highlight key insights from the analysis and provide a platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities in livestock development. Attendees will participate in interactive discussions, hear from key partners, and help shape a vision for livestock infrastructure and economic development across the region.
Food and refreshments will be provided.
