Downtown InFocus
A Downtown Plan and Streets Design Guide for Fargo
With growth and increased buzz, Downtown Fargo now faces the challenge of ensuring that the Downtown experience is a positive one for everyone – that visitors can find their way to destinations and feel safe doing so, that long-term businesses and cultural organizations are not priced out, that the historic fabric is not overwritten by new development.
The City of Fargo needed a comprehensive, action-oriented guidebook for the future of Fargo’s historic Downtown. Our Downtown InFocus plan served as the guide for Downtown investment and local benchmark for public engagement. The City embraced the Downtown InFocus planning process and brought us back just four years later to check in and develop an action guide to help the Downtown recover from the pandemic.
