BISMARK, N.D. — A 911 dispatch center being built in north Bismarck will have the ability to withstand EF4 tornado winds.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday for the estimated $6.3 million project that has been five years in the making. The 20,000-square-foot, two-story center will be built onto Dakota Carrier Network’s facility at 4202 Coleman St.
Central Dakota Communications, a partnership involving Bismarck, Mandan and Burleigh County, handles 911 calls, nonemergency calls, fire and security alarms, and many other services residents use to seek public safety assistance.
