BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota lawmakers have given Williston State College permission to expand a new training center for oil workers.

The Legislature this year approved $2.2 million for the project. On Tuesday the Legislature’s interim Budget Section said Williston State may spend up to $3.9 million on the training center.

The Budget Section committee is made up of state legislators who are in charge of writing the state budget.

Williston State President Raymond Nadolny said there’s increasing demand for training. He said the added money will be provided by increased training fees charged to the oil companies.

The Budget Section also endorsed added spending on a new Williston State residence hall and some new features for the front of the campus. The money is being provided by donations.
