Griz Grand Forkfull Two

It's about resiliency and how a community can pull together in the wake of devastation.And I can attest first hand driving through there at the time that it had to have been a heck of a challenge. The University of Montana is in Grand Forks to take on North Dakota Saturday afternoon at 5:00. In 1997 the city was struck by a severe flood that caused extensive damage, in fact it was the hardest hit city in the Red River Valley. During the height of the flooding a major fire destroyed 11 buildings in the downtown area and many neighborhoods had to be demolished to make way for a new levee system, which took 10 years to complete. But since the flood, Grand Forks has seen both private and public developments throughout town.
