The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has allocated a $3.2 million grant to Grand Forks for the expansion of a soybean processing facility and to support new industrial development in the region. This financial contribution will be supplemented by $798,342 from local funds.

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) commented on the initiative, stating, "North Dakota is an agriculture powerhouse, and our commodities rely on infrastructure networks to get our products to market." He further emphasized the project's significance, saying, "This project adds value to the Grand Forks community, helping to improve the movement and processing of soybeans in the region while boosting economic growth."
