Downtown Fargo BID

Downtown Fargo BID The Business Improvement District (BID) is the first business improvement district in North Dakota.

Established in 2013, the Business Improvement District (commonly referred to as the BID) is the newest division within Downtown Community Partnership. The BID is an 85-block district where commercial property owners are assessed (single family residential and non-profit property owners are exempt) to make their neighborhoods better by going beyond the basic services provided by the city. The BID b

oundaries extend from the Red River to University Drive, from the base of Island Park to the Sanford Health Campus. Within this area, there are five different zones that receive different level of services that were decided by property owners in the BID formation process in 2012. Even though BIDs are quite common across the nation (with nearly a 1,000 in operation), Downtown Fargo is the first such district in North Dakota. Many citizens don’t realize that the added touches that make Downtown Fargo unique are actually paid for by the BID.

Downtown Fargo BID held their January 2026 Safety Summit yesterday! Not staged or planned was real life glass cleanup after a glass bottle fell out of an ambassador’s jacket pocket onto the floor and broke. It made for an entertaining moment for sure.

You know the seasons are changing when Buddy the Bison is placed outside 3rd Avenue and Broadway for summer grazing. Two quick shout outs.

Thank you Superfrog Signs & Graphics for the great repair patchwork you did over the winter. Buddy looks amazing!

Thank you to Accelerated Green Works for an amazing fresh look and adding new mulch in downtown Fargo’s Main Avenue and Broadway planter beds last week.

It is through great partnerships like these that makes Downtown Fargo a great place for all, whether you live, work, or just down for a visit, it’s your downtown. Enjoy!!!
