ETA update the township had gotten the 2-mile juristition back from the city of Bismarck. The township was satisfied with letting Bismarck take jurisdiction of the flood plain (they have larger pockets) and Bismarck wanted jurisdiction of the area So of Lincoln (Copper Ridge) the city had worked with Chad Wachter at the start of the project so ACT was ok with letting them have that area.
