Metro Flood Diversion Authority—March 16, 2018 2 <br />Mr. Grindberg asked about the components from the new plan that will affect project costs. Mr. Boerboom said additional length of the dam, land and home purchases, and increased <br />water flows through Fargo and Moorhead are the main contributors to cost increases. Mr. Benson said road raises and road improvements in Cass and Clay Counties will also contribute to the cost increase.
