- The Fargo-Moorhead (FM) Area Diversion Project is a flood control project on the Red River of the North that borders North Dakota to the west and Minnesota to the east. It was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Metro Flood Diversion Authority. The project was expected to begin construction in early 2017 at a cost of $2.2 Billion. Once operational, the Project will protect the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area from catastrophic flooding. Fargo has been challenged by flooding since the city was founded in the 1800s. The Red River flows north to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The River has flooded the Fargo-Moorhead area numerous times including 1997, 2009 and 2011. The Project includes a 30-mile Diversion Channel that starts just south of Horace, ND, an embankment south of the metro area and a series of levees along the Red River through the Fargo-Moorhead metro area.
