Sen. Cramer: U.S. EDA Invests $3.9 Million for Bismarck Riverfront Infrastructure Improvements

BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) announced an award of $3.9 million to the Northern Plains Heritage Foundation in Bismarck. This funding will support infrastructure improvements to develop Bismarck Riverfront Park and Festival Grounds, attracting tourism and strengthening the local economy.

This $3.9 million award will be matched with $1.1 million in local funds. According to grantee estimates, the funding is expected to create 211 jobs and generate $80 million in private investment.

"North Dakota's capital city is a beautiful city, and the Missouri River is a spectacular historical and recreational resource for our state," said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND). "These funds will improve the infrastructure so more people can have access to it and enjoy it."
