The St. Paul District Commander for the Army Corps of Engineers says he’s confident federal money will be there for the F-M Area Diversion Project.
Col. David Koprowski told the Legislature’s interim Water Topics Overview Committee – the diversion project was one of six new project starts okayed by the Corps.
"Giving us one of those six new starts really demonstrates a federal commitment to this project," Koprowski said. "And that's important."
