The FFDRC worked in conjunction with the City of Fergus Falls to draft language to be used for a State of Minnesota grant that would provide matching funds for the proposed acquisition of the Dairy Site, a blighted 29-acre parcel of land fronting the Otter Tail River, adjacent to Downtown. FFDRC coordinated efforts for donations that totaled $10,000 to be used for lobbying efforts, to gain legislative approval of the proposed grant. The efforts were successful and LCCMR awarded a $600,000 grant to the City on a first time application.
