WHAT IS A PROJECT TEAM?

The concept of a “Project Team” was created in the Red River Basin Flood Damage Reduction (FDR) Work Group mediation agreement, December 9, 1998. The agreement outlines a project development process for reducing flood damages and improving natural resources in the Minnesota portion of the Red River Basin. The agreement also involves early consultation and collaboration among all stakeholders and a cooperative approach to permitting projects. Click here to learn more!
