Signatures are being verified on a community-led petition in Grand Forks, North Dakota to bring a proposed corn wet milling project up for a citywide vote. According to City Attorney Dan Gaustad, there is a 20-day window the city auditor can take to review signatures. If the petition has enough verified signatures by April 12, the matter could be brought up for a vote in June. During Grand Forks City Council meeting on Monday, City Administrator Todd Feland addressed security concerns about the Fufeng Group and the proposed corn wet mill. “Wet corn milling has been around for decades, if not 100 years. There may be a different way the company will develop the market for amino acids, but this isn’t leading-edge technology that will change the world.”
