ST. PAUL, MINN. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, along with the City of Fargo, N.D., and the City of Moorhead, Minn., will hold two public meetings in February to provide preliminary results of the second screening of possible flood damage reduction alternatives and to seek public input for the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan feasibility study.

After studying numerous potential flood damage reduction options for the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan area, the study focus was narrowed to two potential alignments that could greatly reduce the possibility of flooding in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan area. These two alignment alternatives include a diversion channel through Minnesota and a diversion channel through North Dakota.

The two alternatives have a total of six possible sizes, four in Minnesota and two in North Dakota. The two meetings will be held to present this information and solicit public feedback. The first meeting will be Feb. 2 at the Centennial Hall, 207 4th St. N. in Fargo. The second meeting will be held Feb 3 at the Hanson Theater in the Center for the Arts on the Minnesota State University, Moorhead campus at 801 13th St. S. in Moorhead. Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m. with an open house, followed by a formal presentation at 7 p.m. and a question and answer period ending at 9 p.m. Anyone interested in the study is welcome to attend either meeting.

The Feb. 2 meeting will be available online at the City of Fargo’s Web site at www.cityoffargo.com. For more information on this, please contact Karena Carlson, 701-476-6671. Fargo CableOne Channel Fargo 12 will broadcast the meeting on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m.

The Feb. 3 meeting will be available via streaming video on the City of Moorhead’s Web site at www.cityofmoorhead.com/flood. For more information on this, please contact Les Bakke, 218-299-5321. Moorhead Community TV will also broadcast the meetings on CableOne Channel 12. See local listing for times.

The Corps, along with its local sponsors, the cities of Fargo and Moorhead, will continue to study and refine these two options before making a final selection. The selection will undergo both technical and policy reviews prior to public release of the draft report in May 2010.
