Petition addressed to: Washburn Residents, McLean County Residents, North Dakotans,etc
The parcel of land between Hwy 83 and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, (lot B of Nakota Subdivision), is being purchased to build a fenced-in facility for several long storage unit buildings. These new storage units will be built to accommodate boats, trailers, RV’s, etc. making them taller and wider buildings covering direct visibility of the Lewis & Clark Interpretative Center from Hwy 83. Please sign this petition if you are a resident of Washburn ND or a fellow North Dakotan or a lover of North Dakota in general. Washburn, North Dakota is known for its beautiful historical site of Fort Mandan and The Lewis & Clark Interpretative Center & Rest Area which shares the true historical accounts of how Lewis & Clark were guided by Sakagewea across the Early American Frontier.

Thank you so much for your support, Sharla Kosloski, Washburn

Why people sign
The interpretive center is a crucial place for McLean County. Not only does it hold history, but it is a beautiful stopping point for both residents and visitors of Washburn. By building units to the East, the view of the interpretive center will be blocked from view while on Hwy 83, so it would be heavily overlooked by visitors.
The visibility of the Lewis & Clark Facility as you drive by on 83 encourages more visitors to stop in and see the beauty it holds. The building adds to the beautiful quaint scenery of what Washburn is and stands for. Storage units in front of it would cheapen the aesthetics and hurt business I believe. There are plenty of other areas around Washburn to build a storage facility that would be close to 83.
