Northern Plains Nitrogen is asking the Grand Forks council for another six month extension on a Letter of Intent with the city.
The proposed $3 billion dollar nitrogen fertilizer plant has been eyeing a site near the city’s sewage lagoons since it was first announced in 2013.
NPN’s Larry Mackie says they remain cautiously optimistic about the project and continues to work on securing investors. Mackie says the region faces some of the highest fertilizer costs and the plant will utilize the latest technology to capture C-O-2 emissions. In addition green energy and grey water will be used in the process.
The city council will review the request at tonight’s (Monday) Committee of the Whole meeting.
