The Koochiching Development Authority is reserving a decision on helping fund construction of a rail riding in International Falls.
The local contribution is seen as essential to securing grants.
County Commissioner Rob Eklund would like to know how the money will paid back.
Commissioner Kevin Aide says he’s also worried about providing public funds to a project that won’t be going to tender.
Because the Authority doesn’t have the money, it’s now looking how the County could flow funds, if it agrees.
