I love the people and the culture of the people in Grand Forks. I run into people who move here for a purpose and then end up staying.
It’s the people that make Grand Forks a great place to live, learn, work, play, and stay. You go to the Farmer’s Market and you spend 20 minutes shopping and 2 hours visiting.
For a place where the temperature is consistently below freezing, Grand Forks is one of the warmest communities you will ever find.
What we see in recruiting is that people are very surprised with Grand Forks. It’s a real welcoming community. Whether they’re checking into their hotel or at a restaurant or store, people are welcoming them into the community.
