Hoeven: Army Corps Awards $7.65 Million for Construction of New Drayton Dam

DRAYTON, N.D. - Senator John Hoeven today announced that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a $7.65 million contract to HSG Park Joint Venture, LLC to replace the Drayton Dam on the Red River of the North. The new dam will serve as part of the Fargo-Moorhead region's permanent flood protection project. The contract utilizes funds that Hoeven worked to secure as a member of the Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Committee.

"This award will support an updated dam system near Drayton as we continue advancing comprehensive flood protection for the Red River Valley," said Hoeven.
