Two Lawmakers Leading Diversion Meetings in Fargo

There will be not one, but two meetings on the FM Diversion tomorrow.

Senators Hoeven and Heitkamp will lead a meeting at 11:30 am at City Hall.

They say the spending bill passed last week includes “critical” extra funding and authorization for the $2 billion project.

The second meeting is set for the Knickerbocker Liquor Locker in Hickson, part of an area that would become a massive holding pond to keep back water in times of serious flooding.

It will include members of an upstream coalition who believe there are better ways to control flooding.
