Minot grants $3.5M sales tax to community projects

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Minot has awarded about $3.5 million in sales tax collections for community projects that include flood repairs and university stadium improvements.

The Minot Daily News reports that the Minot City Council approved the grants from a fund created when a sales tax for the Northwest Area Water Supply project expired.

Voters had approved converting the tax to infrastructure improvements, property-tax relief and community facilities.
