2019 Special Assessment Community Forums
In 2019, the City of West Fargo hosted five Special Assessment Forums to provide information on special assessments and an opportunity for West Fargo property owners to provide input.
During the events, attendees were given an overview of the special assessment process and the city’s financing strategies. The event then broke out into small groups to give residents the opportunity to provide feedback.
The final survey results were presented to the City Commission during a special meeting. The results and staff recommendations are now available.
