Bismarck Civic Center expansion nears completion

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Officials say a $27 million expansion of the Bismarck Civic Center remains on schedule to host an oil conference in May.

City Commissioner Parrell Grossman tells the Bismarck Tribune (bit.ly/1fbu9Hu) that the project also has kept within its budget.

The Williston Basin Petroleum Conference is scheduled for May 20-22 at the Bismarck Civic Center.

The event will bring together engineers, geologists, investors, CEOs and government officials for seminars and networking.

Grossman says vendors may start moving their booths into the building on May 16.
