This is a time of exciting, unprecedented construction for the University of North Dakota, downtown, and the potential for strengthened connections between them.

Funded by the Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, and Region along with the Knight Foundation, the University Avenue Corridor Study aims to develop priorities for short and long term improvements along the corridor as well as identify other opportunities to better connect UND and Downtown Grand Forks.

The input from the Greater Grand Forks community is very important throughout this process.

Initial feedback will be gathered through an online community survey to gauge priorities, ideas, goals, and concerns. The study will be kicking off in July and is scheduled to wrap up by the end of the year. During this timeframe, there will be multiple opportunities to provide feedback through community forums and input sessions.

If you would like to stay involved and be informed in the process, please contact Jonathan Holth at jholth@jlgarchitects.com. Updates to the study process, community forum times/locations, and other information will also be posted at the Community Foundation website.
