Beginning Again North Dakota - EC1382
The BAND materials were designed for community leaders to discover and build on the strengths of their towns. The materials are arranged in a series of systematic stages with step-by-step instructions for each stage. The sequence of stages follows a progression that includes organizing the leadership team and committees (and forming a local development organization if one is not already in operation), collecting data and assembling a community assets inventory, drafting a development plan of goals and objectives, implementing that plan, and evaluating the entire process (see the BAND Process Handout on Page 8). The materials include detailed instructions, handouts, worksheets, and examples to conduct the BAND process.
Starting a North Dakota Bed and Breakfast Business - EC1231
Defining a B & B “Bed and breakfast facility” means a private home that is used to provide accommodations for a charge to the public, with not more than seven lodging units, in which no more than two family style meals are provided per day. To be designated a “bed and breakfast,” the facility must be the private residence of the host. Other types of lodging, such as on-the-farm/ranch cabins, restored farm houses or hunting cabins, are considered lodges or inns and not a bed and breakfast.
