Outside of Fargo in Horace, hundreds of residents are weighing in on the future of the city’s downtown area, particularly regarding the historic grain elevator. Discussions led by local officials and the Metropolitan Council of Governments have highlighted a significant preference for keeping the elevator as part of the town’s identity. With plans for community space and new developments, residents are exploring three design concepts while aiming to balance modern needs with their small-town charm. Feedback opportunities remain open as the project progresses.

Why does this matter in Minot? We’ve got two historical elevators downtown that are no small part of the Magic City’s skyline. What’s the future hold for them? For one, a mural from a world-renown artist. For the other — a future much less certain. Perhaps Horace’s approach of gathering feedback from the community is an approach Minot should mirror.
