The Central Dakota Metropolitan Planning Organization (CDMPO) is digging deep into the transit system in the Minot area and is seeking public input at two upcoming meetings. Attendees will be able to review project information, speak with project staff, and share feedback on transit needs, priorities, and opportunities. A recorded presentation will play periodically, and participants may attend at any time during either meeting. The meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 from 11:30am to 1:00pm and Wednesday, January 21, 2026 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. Both meetings will take place in the Minot City Council Chambers

As North Dakotans prepare for year-end tax planning, Dakota Hope Clinic is helping raise awareness of a little-known state tax credit that allows individuals and businesses to redirect a portion of their North Dakota income taxes to support families in need - businesses and individual taxpayers may claim a North Dakota income tax credit equal to up to 50% of what they owe in ND income taxes, with a maximum credit of $2,500, when they donate to a qualified pregnancy help center such as Dakota Hope Clinic. To qualify for the current tax year, contributions must be made by December 31. Dakota Hope Clinics are located in Minot, Tioga, and Bottineau. If you have questions about the credit, you are encouraged to contact Dakota Hope Clinic at 701-852-4675 or director@dakotahope.org. Taxpayers are also encouraged to consult their tax advisor regarding their specific situation.
