The North Dakota Legislature has settled on funding levels for base retention efforts around the state.
The House (Thursday) accepted a conference committee report that sets aside one-million dollars for communities with an Air Force Base or National Guard facility. Under the program Minot would receive $500,000 dollars – while Grand Forks and Fargo would each receive $250,000.
Supporters say the funding makes sense since the annual economic impact of the three bases totals $1.2 billion dollars – employing over 14,000 people.
The Senate on Tuesday endorsed the funding package.
The House and Senate sent the bill to the governor with votes of 92-0 and 47-0 respectively.
