While some local legislative priorities, discussed on Dec. 8 by members of Team Grand Forks, align with Gov. Doug Burgum’s proposed budget, others require more support to be realized.
Priorities for Team Grand Forks, a group of local leaders including representatives of the city, county, Chamber, Economic Development Corporation and UND, include continued support for state funding for infrastructure projects and a grant program for fledgling tech companies. While those programs have enjoyed previous support, UND is facing a possible budget reduction at a time when it is looking to remodel some buildings and portions of its runway at Grand Forks International Airport.
