Council Discusses Fertilizer Plant Project

At the Wolf Point City Council’s regular meeting Monday, March 18, the council heard a presentation from a group called Team Clean Energy regarding a fertilizer plant to be constructed near Culbertson.

The site, which is located on approximately 200 acres between Culbertson and Bainville, is expected to generate more than 3,000 jobs, including more than 1,000 permanent jobs.

The council passed a letter of support to add to letters from the Governor’s Office, Senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines and Roosevelt County Commissioner Gordon Oelkers.

A loose schedule is projecting that construction on the project will begin in 2025. If it moves forward, the plant is expected to open in 2028.
