Legislative Priorities for Grand Forks Set

The Team Grand Forks Committee has been meeting for months preparing a list of priorities for the upcoming ND Legislative session. The following is the list of priorities: i. Infrastructure Funding Package ii. Grand Sky Infrastructure Request iii. UNDs 1. UND Research Funding 2. Deferred Maintenance Funding 3. UND/NDSU Funding Flexibility/Autonomy iv. Military Spouse License Reciprocity v. Base Retention Funding

This list is always fluid during the session to adapt to changes in budget and priorities as they evolve. This is the 5th legislative session for Team Grand Forks which is a combined effort of the Chamber, Economic Development Corporation, City of Grand Forks, Grand Forks County and UND. Several meetings are on the horizon with local legislators in early December to discuss strategy. The Chamber will discuss the MN and ND Chamber’s legislative agendas at the December Board meeting. In the past, the Chamber has supported both agendas as our business agenda during the session. The Chamber also supports the Greater MN Cities agenda for border cities legislation and the Greater MN priorities like workforce housing.
