Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) is tackling the area’s workforce development challenges in 2018. As part of the process, the JSDC has been working with a consultant to develop recommendations and solutions for attracting more people who want to live and work in Jamestown and Stutsman County. An online survey will be sent to local businesses this month by the JSDC. The goal is to gather input from local employers about the challenges they face when searching for employees.
JSDC, CEO, Connie Ova says, “We are hoping our local business leaders will share information with us about the number and type of positions they currently have open. What education or skills are necessary to fill these positions? Do they have suggestions for training programs or community improvements that would make it easier to recruit people to work here? That’s the type of information that will help us improve our workforce development initiatives in Jamestown and Stutsman County.”
The link to the survey will be sent out via email to local businesses. A link to the survey will also be posted on the JSDC website at the following address: http://www.growingjamestown.com/jsdc
Connie adds, “It will only take a few minutes of your time to complete. We hope the business community embraces this opportunity to share their opinions to help the entire community grow and flourish.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health Department on Friday began accepting applications from potential manufacturers of medical marijuana, though it’s still unclear whether growers will need to comply with the state’s anti-corporate farming law.
The application period that ends April 19 is the latest step by state officials who have been developing the medical marijuana system since legislators crafted a law a year ago. That followed voters’ approval of the drug in November 2016.
The state will register two manufacturers. Last summer, nearly 100 groups and businesses submitted nonbinding letters of intent showing interest in producing or dispensing medical marijuana. Potential growing operations that follow through with a formal application will have to pay a non-refundable $5,000 fee.
