It's blatantly obvious that a majority of the city's growth over the last 3 decades has been to the south end. It's becoming increasingly difficult to provide infrastructure and services as the city grows longer. Also the north end of the city has been gradually growing older and the student populations are falling. We should be reinventing North Fargo to take advantage of home flipping and increased density developments to breathe some life into that part of town.

I know there were originally plans for a large condominium project (5 stories) called Le Meridian, but that fell through after the economic collapse. We need multiple projects like that spread throughout the area, as well as giving the classical and older homes in the area a new lease on life.

I think the areas surrounding N. Broadway would be key contenders for higher density developments. In fact, the Hornbachers Mall parcel occupies what is essentially 4 city blocks. Work with Hornbachers to develop a 4 block walkable "mini downtown" area with mid rise developments and a park/plaza area integrated into the middle. The area already has a mid-rise building across the street and could handle the increased traffic. It's also close enough to NDSU where if promoted enough, it could be quite popular with the college age crowd.
