Area D: Rural Grand Forks

On September 6, 2022 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC), Vanessa McMaster, and RDKB staff met in Grand Forks to present the Rural Grand Forks floodplain maps at a Public Engagement Session. We are grateful to all those that came to hear about this project, provide comments and help us finetuning the work. The maps are in their final stages now, and hope to be available to the public this spring.

A recording of NHC’s presentation can be viewed at the link below. Please direct any questions to the Kristina Anderson, [email protected].
