(Grand Forks, ND) -- Application errors are causing setbacks in the construction of a pipeline in the Grand Forks area.

State Pipeline Authority Director Justin Kringstad says the errors in an application must be corrected before funds can be awarded to build the 14-mile pipeline that would supply the area with gas from Minnesota's Viking Pipeline.

North Dakota lawmakers approved ten-million dollars in funding for the project back in 2021.
