General Policy Guidance
• The STAR committee is comprised of volunteers who are responsible for redistribution of city sales tax dollars to local businesses or non-profit groups.
• The sole purpose and goal of this redistribution is to promote economic growth and development in the community.
• The following application is to help the committee determine whether the funding request meets that purpose and goal.
• As of January 1, 2018 only applications for projects/events that have not been completed will be accepted.
• Please fill out the application and return to the Economic Development Director in the city office. Please include your Business Plan thru the North Dakota Small Business Development Center. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call the Economic Development Director at 701-683-4140.
• STAR meets the third Monday of each month. Submissions are required to be turned in by the previous Friday for review.
