(By: . North Dakota Monitor) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency canceled more than $20 million in grants that were headed to North Dakota for various infrastructure projects.

The funding comes from the agency’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, designed to help state and local governments with projects that reduce risks to hazards.

Some projects impacted in North Dakota are a $7.1 million for a water intake project in Washburn; $7.8 million for a regional wastewater treatment project in Lincoln; and $1.9 million for a wastewater lagoon project in Fessenden.

North Dakota has 10 projects that were authorized for the federal funding but those dollars will be rescinded, the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services said Tuesday. Additional projects are going through a re-review process and could potentially lose funding as well.
