By Richard Geigle | Jamestown

Yes, the time is now for you to seize this time to invest in your future! You buy stock low and sell high or collect dividends - you also buy land or real estate or a business in the same way. Jamestown is a good bet to take a good look around. Our location is our secret weapon. Infrastructure is also a key area - Interstate 94 and U.S. Highway 281/52 are also the in-place assets - 1.4 million vehicles on I-94 and 281 to capture tourists for new dollars to move through our city and state. The national movement from unsafe conditions for families and businesses. They are looking to open spaces with a good place to raise the family and do business in a safe law and order state. Of course, our cash position in North Dakota is a great plus. The future is looking very good for North Dakota and Jamestown.

In the past, towns like Jamestown and Valley City were just minor stops (if at all) between larger cities like Fargo and Bismarck but now with the internet and highway system the desire to have space to move for safety and a new future for your business and family, our time is ripe for opportunity.

Jamestown has the infrastructure for recreation, R/V camping, tourism, highways system, open spaces plus the airport, railroad, trucking company's internet, rural water, aquifer water and reservoirs, university. A destination town for investors at their front door as well as the location for convention centers for small and large meetings.

Now is the time for opportunity in Jamestown. A tourist attraction for 61 years in North Dakota. The World's Largest Buffalo has had 170,000 visitors a year in years past! What is next - a possible Buffalo City Park? With up to 300,000 to 500,000 visitors in the near future. We have had our disappointments in the past; traffic has driven by to the bigger cities. We can be a tourist destination in the near future; you seize the opportunity before the reality of possibilities.
