Overview

• The Fargo City Commission approved a motion to move the Downtown Engagement Center nearly five years after it opened at 222 Fourth St. N.
• Officials identified three possible locations: 610 N. University (the former Fargo Brewing Company), 720 14th St., and 2001 First Ave. N. near the police department.
• Several commissioners and downtown business owners cited public safety concerns as reasons to relocate the facility.
• Fargo Cass Public Health leaders describe the center as an entry point to broader social services and say a new site could support more consistent, potentially daily, offerings.
• No final site or operational plan has been selected, and further deliberations are scheduled for Sept. 29.
