On May 1st, a groundbreaking was held for the Avery building along NP Avenue between Old Broadway and NDSU Renaissance Hall. The building will be the new home of the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre, with a new, cutting-edge theater with more than 400 seats. FMCT’s new space will have meeting rooms and common spaces accessible to the whole community to foster creativity, education and social gatherings. Along with theater space, the Avery building will have room for businesses, and it will have more than 160 new living spaces. The project includes a new parking ramp that will be owned by The City of Fargo with 472 parking spots. This is a public-private partnership that’s yet another great example of our community and business leaders collaborating to make downtown Fargo an amazing destination. Here is a short video that captures the highlights of the recent groundbreaking.
