We worked to secure funding for this project, which will improve safety, reduce delays and strengthen the movement of people and goods throughout the region.
We drove home the extent of those efforts today and laid the groundwork for future partnerships with the Air Force.
By providing the full, upfront funding of $20 million for the project, we were able to get the Air Force to prioritize its construction and limit disruption to the base and GrandSKY’s operations.
We demonstrated clearly in North Dakota that we can achieve greater gas capture without imposing burdensome, one-size-fits-all rules.
