Officials with the City of Minot are participating in the information-gathering process
after becoming aware of alleged internal financial challenges at Project BEE, a local
nonprofit and community partner.
The National Disaster Resilience program allocated federal funds for a number of
projects, including the Broadway Circle project under the direction of Project BEE.
While no local investment has been contributed, the distribution of federal funds
created a partnership starting in 2021 between the City of Minot and Project BEE.
City leadership is cooperating with state and information-collecting agencies.
“We have a responsibility to the community and the federal government to be sure
the federal funds from the NDR program for Broadway Circle are being used
appropriately,” City Manager Harold Stewart said. “We are in the process of
gathering information and facts to verify that the funding was properly used.”
The City of Minot is one of many partners with Project BEE. City officials are
working with other government organizations and nonprofits to be sure the
vulnerable populations continue to receive valuable services in our area.
