While the Bakken region continues to dominate the economic news in this region, Minneapolis has a billion-dollar stadium project underway for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings and reportedly has an estimated $1 billion in multi-family projects underway or on the drawing boards in the downtown area, according to Minnesota Public Radio.
