Bismarck Mayor John Warford announced today that the City of Bismarck is open for
business and welcomes visitors this summer to the Capital City.
“Our hearts go out to all of the displaced citizens in the Bismarck-Mandan area and they will continue to be ever present on our minds. Now as we transition from the completion of protective levees, we want to minimize the economic disruption to our local hotels, restaurants, and shops,” said Mayor Warford.
Warford said that there are numerous summer tourism and other recreational events planned in Bismarck and wants to ensure visitors that he is looking forward to seeing these events take place. “Hotel accommodations are in good supply and our restaurants and shops are gearing up for the unique hospitality, goods and services that only Bismarck can provide,”
Warford said. “I encourage visitors from throughout the state and country to come to Bismarck and to experience our hospitality firsthand from hotel staff to store clerks to passers-by.”
Our businesses continue to be competitive in the many goods and services they offer and need the public’s support more than ever.
Warford thanks all the businesses and their employees for stepping up in a time of crisis to help their communities and neighbors. “Now it’s time to recognize those businesses and help ensure a successful summer and recovery,” said Warford.
The City’s police and public safety entities will be working nonstop to ensure the highest level of public safety and Warford is confident in their abilities. “Visitors to Bismarck-Mandan will help provide a welcome distraction from the flood and restore hope and a sense of normalcy to this area. If you haven’t seen all we have to offer, now would be a great time to visit,” Warford
said.
