First Street Lofts
First Street Lofts was approved for Downtown Design Review, and unanimously recommended for approval of Renaissance Zone designation by the Renaissance Zone Authority. “Jonathan Youness, Eagle Ridge Development, LLC is proposing to construct a 5-story, 56-unit multifamily apartment building. The ground-floor platform would house internal structured parking for the residents as well as amenities and an entrance.” The apartments would be rented at market rate. The City Commission will review the Renaissance Zone request next week for final approval. The proposed project would contribute to several goals and objectives of the Renaissance Zone Development Plan, including the provision of housing opportunities. The project would also be a direct implementation of 2013 Downtown Bismarck Subarea Study, which called for urban residential development of this scale in this south-west area of downtown.

Partners in Planting Program
Community minded sponsors have partnered together with the City of Bismarck to create the Partners in Planting Program- providing funds for a matching grant to help home and business owners plant street trees. This grant offers a direct reimbursement to citizens and businesses who plant trees in the city’s boulevard area adjacent to their property. To participate contact the Forestry Division to request Permit to Plant Trees on Public Street Right-of-way.
