Congratulations to GGFYP sponsor Bell Bank on their ribbon cutting ceremony for their newest building in Grand Forks!

Hearing from the president speak to the building being fully funded by Bell Bank partners and with local contractors is a true testament to how powerful community can be. When people come together, great things happen…and beautiful buildings!
