FM Diversion
BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR/KCND) – The FM Diversion Project would receive $435.5 million from a Republican-sponsored bonding bill in the North Dakota legislature.
“I know it’ll take a few years to get that done, but if we get that off the table, then we can start looking bigger” House Majority Leader Chet Pollert said.
The $800 million bill also contains money for building projects, including an ag products development center at NDSU and the Pulver Hall project at Dickinson State University.
“FM is such a big project. It’s kind of holding us back. I, myself, am kind of tired of doing a little bit and there. Let’s get FM Diversion out of the way and start working on these other projects.”
One specific project is the F-M Diversion. The measure allocates $435.5 million for the diversion. I know it will take a few years to get that done, House Majority Leader Chet Pollert (R-Carrington) said during an interview with Prairie Public. But if we can get that off the table, we can start looking at the Red River Water Supply, because that s going to bring water to a lot of rural communities.
The Red River Valley Water Supply project would tap into the Missouri River to feed the Red during times of drought. The FM Diversion is such a big prorject, it s holding us back on what we need to do on other projects, Pollert said. I myself am kind of tired of dojng a little bit here and there. Let s get the Diversion out of the way, and start working on these other projects.
