Business Location Opportunity Inventory

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

One of our goals is to promote business and job growth in the Rolette area.  In support of that objective, we are planning to produce an inventory of available business locations.  There are numerous buildings or (portions of buildings) in Rolette that are available for a business to rent (or possibly buy) and get started with lower startup costs than building a new facility.  The business location inventory will be posted on the Rolette web site when it is complete.  If you have a property that would be suitable for a business to move into and would like it listed in the inventory, please contact Joellen Gilje.  We will include pictures of the building and contact information for the owners.

How did we ever get involved in Horizons?

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

jo-working.JPGWith the new start of leadership plenty in the begining stages, this question has cropped up often lately.   I am not sure of how the actually official grant got started but I do know that you can blame or give kudos to Joellen Gilje.  Here is her picture and feel free to let her know how you think this process is going.  Along with that I really cant let her hold all of the blame… she has a board of director for Horizons… are you can ask her who they are.  Ha! Ha!  Can you feel me passing the buck?  I am one of the directors and please feel free to express your opinion to me as well.   We can only change things if we know the are broken or not liked.   Take some time and visit with us. 

Garys’ organic farming enterprises - church based

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Garys’ organic enterprises visualize the production of healthy foods to allay hunger issues and provide work for some of those currently unemployed.        Based on that model of church administration of welfare and other social isssues early in this countries history, there is ample evidence of the churches success and efficiency in these activities.        The system was faulted in that the supervising pastors tended to feed their parisheners better than others, and would sometimes use food as an inducement to join their particular church.      Also, they would burn a witch once in a while but this wasn’t prevalent.      Additional info here.      (Rolette ND)

Gurr Building Proposed for Summer Library

Friday, January 18th, 2008

At the job promotion task force meeting Steve Gilje suggested that the old historic building be used as a library in the summer time. Coffee would be available to people and maybe a tour of the building would be available once a week. It will be discussed further at a later date in Rolette.” Thanks to Jo and Beth for the original idea.
