The City of Fargo

The City of Fargo is the largest community in the Fargo-Moorhead metro area and in the state of North Dakota with a population of more than 110,000. Fargo has seen extensive business growth in the fields of technology, health care and education in recent years and has suffered few of the financial hardships facing other communities throughout the U.S. About our employees The City of Fargo is a progressive employer with a highly skilled workforce of more than 1,000. Valuing employees and their families is a priority at the City. Employees are provided with the following competitive benefits: • Retirement • Health insurance • Vision insurance • Free dental insurance Taking care of the environment Being a friend of the environment is a community priority in Fargo. Our transit system continues to see explosive growth in ridership and is quickly converting its fleet of busses to bio-diesel hybrids. Street lights have been converted to LED, we collect methane at our landfill and recently expanded our recycling program. Living on the Red River Fargo is situated along the Red River which borders the state of Minnesota. The river provides a scenic view and miles of recreational areas including parks, fishing, walking/biking paths and camping. We are working to live harmoniously with the river by building landscaped dikes and flood walls. Fargo and Moorhead are currently proposing a diversion that would help protect the metro and surrounding communities.
