Grant County approves 20% cost share for Lake Tschida roads project
Summary
The county approved a North Dakota DOT cost-share project to reshape and gravel about 13 miles of roads near Lake Tschida, costing $592,652.50 with Grant County responsible for 20% (approximately $118,530.50); the work may extend into spring 2027 if dust suppressant operations continue.
Grant County Commissioners unanimously approved on April 1, 2026, a North Dakota Department of Transportation cost-share Special Road Fund Project to reshape and gravel approximately 13.0 miles of county roads near Lake Tschida and apply dust suppressant. The project’s estimated total cost is $592,652.50; Grant County’s share is listed as 20 percent (about $118,530.50).
Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter moved to approve the Special Road Fund Project; Commissioner Marty Meyer seconded and the roll call vote was unanimous (Meyer - aye, Hochhalter - aye, Zenker - aye). Meeting minutes note the proposed construction year as 2026 but state that use of dust suppressant may extend project work into spring 2027.
The motion records the project scope as reshaping, graveling and application of dust suppressant across roughly 13 miles of county roads serving the Lake Tschida area. The minutes do not specify a detailed construction schedule or funding source breakdown beyond the 20 percent county share; the county auditor indicated that budget amendments related to right-of-way acquisitions and department needs will be presented at the next meeting.
The board did not record objections to the project in the minutes; next procedural steps will follow standard NDDOT and county project coordination.
