Minot’s Flood Protection Tracking Forward With Nearly $200 Million in Total Funding Over Next Two Years
Minot’s long-running flood control effort just got a major boost. Lawmakers approved $81.1 million for construction over the next two years—slightly ahead of past commitments and part of a nearly $200 million package when combined with federal and local funding. Projects include finishing work at Roosevelt Park and the zoo, and launching the complex Maple Diversion project near active rail lines. Officials say inflation pressures have eased and remain committed to rejecting overpriced bids to protect taxpayers while keeping progress on track.
