BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials have secured funding and plans for a presidential library for former President Theodore Roosevelt in Dickinson are moving forward.
Dickinson State University and its Theodore Roosevelt Center were tasked last session by the state Legislature with designing a presidential library for the man who often said he was transformed by his time in western North Dakota.
Legislators promised $12 million in state funding if Dickinson State could come up with $3 million of their own, which university President D.C. Coston said this week will come from the city of Dickinson.
Dickinson State officials have said that the project will likely cost more than the $15 million already invested.
Master design plans are expected to be finished by the end of July.
