Griggs County EOC work resumes

Cooperstown (CSi) Construction on the $3.5 million Griggs County Emergency Operations Center has resumed.

It’s been almost a year since a contract dispute led to contractors walking off the job.

Construction Engineers, based in Grand Forks, and subcontractors walked off the job last May over payment delays and contract language issues.

While crews are working in the Emergency Operations Center portion of the complex.

The project is estimated to be more than 90 percent complete as work remains quiet in the Griggs County Courthouse section.

Each party says it’s the other’s responsibility to pay for completing the courthouse part of the project.

The issue may end up in court.
