Grand Forks, a city of about 59,000 people on the Red River, is the third-largest city in North Dakota and home to the University of North Dakota. UND hockey at Ralph Engelstad Arena and events at the Alerus Center draw crowds from across the region, and the Greenway along the river links the city with East Grand Forks, Minnesota.
Altru Health System and Grand Forks Air Force Base are major employers, and the city is the retail hub for northeastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota, with shoppers driving in from small towns and from Manitoba. I-29 and US-2 meet here, so billboards reach students, commuters, regional shoppers and travelers between Fargo and Winnipeg.
