Parks and Golf Courses in Fargo-Area Take a Hit

(AP) Golf courses and parks in the Fargo-area have taken a monetary hit from the Red River flooding, and officials are working on re-seeding and repairing them. Jim Larson, the park's District Finance Director, estimates about $450k in lost revenue, not including $600k spent on contractors, supplies, and labor. Larson says the Federal Government will cover some of those costs, but he doesn't know, yet, how much. The 4th of July weekend is usually the busiest camping weekend of the year at Lindenwood Park, but less then half of the campsites are useable. Some of the areas will open later this summer.
