A modular home builder with operations in Aberdeen, South Dakota is hoping to open a facility in Fort Yates, North Dakota to provide housing for the Bakken Oil Field boom. As bismacktribune tells MHPronews, the ATechBuilder Corp. expects to hire 45 full time employees to build the 1,100 to 2,500 square foot modular homes that will cost under $100,000 to over $250,000 each. ATech’s Rick Downs, anticipating an opening of the modular plant this fall, says he is seeking investors for the $1.5 million facility, and wants to open additional production sites in the state. Located in south central ND, Fort Yates is home to Sitting Bull College, and the company is expected to draw employees from the Sitting Bull Indian Reservation.
