(KNOX) – The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) will host a public input meeting Monday, October 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. CDT to discuss the Northern Red River Flood Study from north of Grand Forks to the Canadian border.
The meeting will be held at the Minto Community Center, 114 Harvey Ave., in Minto, ND. There will be an open house format with a formal presentation at 5:30 p.m. CDT.
