KILLDEER, N.D. (AP) — A decade of planning for the High Plains Cultural Center is taking shape with a backbone of steel rising in the North Dakota town of Killdeer.

The Bismarck Tribune reported that the center will feature 13,000 square feet of space for 4-H exhibitions, wedding receptions, western events, meetings, sports and education classes.

David Twist of Manning said a committee has raised about one-third of the $1.5 million, enough to get a good start at construction this fall.

Twist said the committee plans on a construction loan to finish the interior. He hopes that now that local people can see a beginning they’ll be willing to make donations to see it to the end.

Terrald Bang of rural Killdeer said the center should be running by summer.
