ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) -- About 100 workers from a Wisconsin company building the TransCanada oil pipeline will be based in Aberdeen, starting Tuesday.
But that's only about one-fourth of those to arrive by fall.
An official of Michels Pipeline Construction company says trailer houses will be moved to Aberdeen this weekend as project headquarters are shifted from Valley City, N.D.
The move comes as preliminary work moves from Marshall County into Day County.
Aberdeen is the only area town large enough to accommodate a rapid influx of 400 construction workers.
The TransCanada pipeline will carry crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Illinois and Oklahoma.
