Fargo Chooses Civic Center for New Convention Hub

Fargo’s City Commission votes to build the new convention center at the Civic Center, ditching the Brewhalla site — a major win for downtown revitalization. The project blends public and private investment: the city funds the convention center, while a development team builds a 100-room Moxy hotel right next door. Plans include a skyway linking the center, hotel, Radisson Blu, Jasper, and a parking garage. Key players like Kilbourne Group and McGough Construction are on board, with groundbreaking slated for this year and completion by 2029 — funded by the hotel tax voters approved years ago. The meeting also marked emotional farewells for long-serving Mayor Tim Mahoney and Commissioners Kolpack and Piepkorn, as Josh Boschee prepares to take the helm in July alongside new commissioners Chad Peterson and Nikkie Gullickson.
