* UND Research Foundation's new $11.7 million tech park gets preliminary support from the city to the tune of $500,000 and five acres of land.
* More info on the city's efforts to lobby the Pentagon for more UAV missions from my friend Elisa Rineheart.
Dig those citizen-journalists.
* GrandForksGuy has a bunch of renderings of the new UND student housing complex.
Update 10:13 p.m.: Just noticed the Guy got a story I was trying to pin down yesterday about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation the Wal-Mart Super Center construction site. Since I haven't heard back from the one ICE public affairs guy that's apparently at work and I don't know what the Guy's sources are, I can't vouch for the story, but he does good work so make of it what you will.
* JGS reports that the Point Bridge is to be closed Friday. I was going to mention something about it today but it looks like he got to it first. I did hear it might close again this summer. Still waiting to hear from city of Grand Forks though.
Update 4:27 p.m.: City spokesman Kevin Dean says the schedule is as follows:
May 19: Closed during the day but reopened at night for weekend traffic.
May 22: Closed until May 24 to allow for Memorial Day weekend traffic.
May 30: Closed until July 24.
The first two closings is for prep work and the final one is for the big paint removal/repainting project. It's kinda odd but otherwise it'd have to stay close longer. Prep work doesn't require total closing. But the sandblasting and repainting does. Now you know.

Point Bridge will be closed for 2 months Starting June 1st. The repainting could take as long as 4 months but you can count on 2 months of detours!
How's that? Isn't it good that the closing is shorter than the actual work?
