North Dakota House passes $30 million incentive for ag facilities, moves to governor’s desk
North Dakota is rolling out the welcome mat for major ag development, with the Legislature approving a $30 million incentive bill aimed at jumpstarting projects like the proposed Agristo potato processing plant in Grand Forks. The funding would come in two stages—after construction and once production hits halfway. With an emergency clause included, the measure heads to Gov. Kelly Armstrong for immediate enactment. If signed, it could fast-track Agristo’s first U.S. plant and signal the state’s deepening commitment to ag industry growth. Matthew Voigt with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
