Community members are invited to attend a town hall meeting on Tuesday, September 23, to discuss the relocation of the Downtown Engagement Center (DEC). Doors will open at 4:45 p.m., with opening remarks beginning at 5 p.m. The meeting will be held in Fargo City Commission Chambers within Fargo City Hall, located at 225 4th Street North. The meeting will be streamed live at TVFargo.com as well as on the City of Fargo’s Facebook and YouTube accounts.
During the meeting, City of Fargo staff will be present to answer questions and provide information about the relocation of the DEC. Community partners and service providers who serve guests from the current DEC location and plan to be at the future site will also provide information. Community members not able to attend the town hall event are invited to share their input at this link, which will be open until 12 a.m. on Thursday, September 25.

• 610 North University Drive, Fargo
• 720 14th Street North, Fargo
• 2001 1st Avenue North, Fargo
