Fargo has been named to the Fortune 2023 list of 50 Best Places to Live for Families. This annual list recognizes the 50 best places to live in each state based on health care, education and resources for seniors. The listing says, in part: “Those who settle into everyday life in Fargo will be pleased to find a diverse job market with opportunities in health care, technology, education and agriculture and an unemployment rate well below the national average denoting a strong economy. Fargo’s affordability, combined with a high quality of life, makes it an attractive place to settle down.”

We recently recognized 164 Team Fargo members at the annual Employee Recognition Event. These employees had a combined 2,535 years of service to the City of Fargo, including Reference Librarian Steve Hubbard, who was recognized for 50 years of service. We are very thankful for all the hard work that Team Fargo puts in every day for our residents, businesses and visitors.
