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.
