FARGO — Representatives of three more proposals for a new $40 million convention center in Fargo have made their case as to why their project should be chosen.

On Friday, Aug. 29, at Fargo City Hall, projects tied to southside, northside and downtown Fargo locations had hearings in front of the Convention Center Committee, made up of city commissioners and community and business leaders.

The first three projects were presented a week ago; the final three will be heard Friday, Sept. 5.

The convention center, estimated to cost up to $41 million to build, will be financed by a 3% increase in the city lodging tax approved by Fargo voters in November, in effect for 25 years.

All proposals have plans for ballrooms, meeting and exhibit space, food and beverage options and parking.
