This is the same grant program that put money towards the river front project.A Taxpayer funded grant putting dollars towards a private project that will not benefit ND residents and instead only a single private business.  At least the river front project will be free to the public and open to everyone in the community.Does anyone think this outfitter, who’s going to build a big lodge with the funds, will be giving free outfitted hunts to residents? Opening his land to ND resident hunters (no doubt that this grant will allow him to lease up more of it)? Allowing hunters to stay at his lodge for free?This is literally taxpayer money going to commercialize our own wildlife and reduce access, to benefit a single business.<a href="https://www.jamestownsun.com/news/bison-world-hunting-and-fishing-lodge-in-medina-receive-matching-grant-funds" target="_blank">https://www.jamestownsun.com/news/bison-world-hunting-and-fishing-lodge-in-medina-receive-matching-grant-funds</a>Destination Development fund<a href="https://www.commerce.nd.gov/services-assistance/grant-programs/destination-development-grant" target="_blank">https://www.commerce.nd.gov/services-assistance/grant-programs/destination-development-grant</a></blockquote>
