MOORHEAD — The city of Moorhead and Clay County are teaming up to ask the Minnesota Legislature for $60.2 million to fund flood control projects. The two government entities said they're collaborating on the request, so it does not outcompete pending requests to fund other essential local projects, including the 11th Street railroad underpass in Moorhead and the new Dilworth Fire Station. Funding those two projects is a higher priority, said Joel Paulsen, executive director of the Metro Flood Diversion Authority, even though ideally this flood mitigation funding would be granted as well.
