After cutting a long-standing contract for budgetary reasons the Grand Forks County Commission is ready to strike a new deal with the base consulting firm VMF Findley.
The new contract for 2023 would cost $90,000 dollars – or $31,000 less than the current agreement.
Several members say there has been a loud silence at the Grand Forks Air Force Base in recent months and that could be cause for concern. Commission member Bob Rost made the motion to approve the contract to help promote the GFAFB and investments made at Grand Sky.
At least one commission member cited the proposed Fufeng corn milling project for raising recent concerns.
