Minnesota is going into a budget year with a $17 billion surplus. Red River Watershed Management Board Executive Director Rob Sip will be working on securing additional funding for flood reduction. “We have about ten large scale flood projects, so we’re looking for about $50 million from the State of Minnesota, but they do have a little bit of extra money and we’re hoping to get some of that funding next year.” Sip also says there are several farmstead ring dike projects are underway and similar projects are planned in the future.
