Fargo’s next big decision isn’t whether to build a convention center—that’s already in motion, with funding approved by voters. The question now is _where_ to build it. Commissioner John Strand suggested spotlighting a few city-owned downtown properties to spark ideas from developers. But his proposal didn’t gain traction, raising concerns about fairness in the site selection process. As Fargo eyes a venue to compete with other regional cities, the debate over location may prove just as critical as the design itself. Melissa Van Der Stad with InForum has the full story.
