Fargo Voters Decide Ward System | Fargo News

Fargo’s voters will decide this fall whether to overhaul city government with a ward-based system, splitting the city into six districts where reps must live in their district—while the mayor remains elected citywide. Triggered by a grassroots group, the plan sparks debate over future district lines. Meanwhile, the new commission has approved a $147.5 million 2027 budget—a 5% bump—with one commissioner insisting on public input before voting, stressing public safety as top priority. A formal budget hearing is set for September 14th. Behind the scenes, the Ground Transportation Center relocates to the old police station starting August 17th, and municipal court moves to the Fargo Civic Center later this month.
