VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Construction of a new Public Works Service Center is underway in Valley City on east main.

City Administrator Gwen Crawford told the city commission on Tuesday, July 15th that higher levels of petroleum have been detected in the soil at the construction site of the former home of Valley Plains Equipment.

Earlier this year, the city commission approved and selected EAPC Architects and McGough Construction to guide the construction project, despite residents raising concerns about the excessive cost of the $14.3 million dollar project.

In May, Thomas Dahl of McGough Construction said the total cost of the construction project is $14,390,000.
