Cumulative Vendor Payments Detail Fargo Dam and FM Diversion as of 2020-07-31
Fargo Diversion Authority increased contracts by $ 206,991,947.09 from January 31, 2019 to July 31, 2020. Still, NO congressional funding, now topping 40 percent of the original projected cost. The Fargo Diversion Authority has pumped over $132.3 million into OHB ring-dike-levee and private country club ($32.05 million), which provides ZERO FLOOD PROTECTION BENEFIT TO FARGO, all courtesy of state and local taxpayers. With unfinished internal flood protection projects the Fargo Diversion Authority continues to pump millions into the non-flood prone OHB ring-dike-levee and private Oxbow Country Club, courtesy of state and local taxpayers.
The preliminary injunction remains in place against the project with 5 limited actions allowed in 2019. The contested case filed by the Buffalo Red River Watershed District, City of Comstock Minnesota, City of Wolverton Minnesota and the Richland Wilkin Joint Powers Authority renders the MN DNR Conditional Permit invalid under Minnesota Statutes Section 103G.311. “Upon the filing of a valid contested case hearing, the order issuing the permit is no longer final, and the permit is put into abeyance and ceases to be valid – MN DNR”
The Covid-19 (coronavirus) situation complicates local, state and federal funding options which could take more than a decade of recovery.
Imperial Fargo – Imperial Cass continue to mire taxpayer into debt that may cripple the regional economy and expect a P3 funding source to bail them out
