GRAND FORKS, N.D. (KFGO/KNOX) – The attorney for the failed Fufeng corn milling plant and the City of Grand Forks are working out what to do about the 300 acres of land purchased by the company.
City Attorney Dan Gaustad said discussions continue over the termination of the development agreement with the China-based company. Gaustad told members of the city council that those talks will ramp up in the coming days.
City Administrator Todd Feland said the city has also received a petition for de-annexation from property owners along the Highway 81 corridor. Those petitions are being reviewed.
The city council voted to scrap the controversial project after a top U.S. Air Force official cited national security concerns with locating the plant in close proximity to the Grand Forks Air Force Base.
