WILLISTON – Worker housing man camps will continue to be in limbo in Williston, but the city’s mayor said Tuesday he hopes to have a resolution by the end of July.
The Williston City Commission had set a July 1 deadline for all temporary housing facilities to close, but a federal judge issued an order last week that prevents the city from enforcing it.
