Meantime, the city of International Falls is searching for some federal funding and county support for the construction of an industrial truck route to its foreign trade zone.
The city is applying for nearly $1.7 million from the U.S. government. Because a portion of the road will run outside city boundaries, the city is asking Koochiching County to share in the local cost instead of spending it toward a proposed by-pass.
The city says the country would save almost half-a-million dollars by supporting the proposed truck route instead.
