Convention Center Committee

During the November 2024 election, Fargo voters approved an additional 3% tax on hotel and motel stays, with the proceeds financing the construction of a convention center. The City Commission has since formed a Convention Center Project Committee to create and manage a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for the selection of a convention center project. Once approved, the RFP will be distributed to parties interested in entering a partnership with The City of Fargo to build a convention center and other amenities. When the submission period ends, the Committee will review the proposals and present a recommendation to the City Commission.

Meetings are held the on Fridays at 1 p.m. every week in the Fargo City Commission Chambers. Please see the Convention Center Committee Agendas & Minutes page for potential cancellation notices.

The Convention Center Project Committee includes all five City Commission members and nine other members.
