Build up, not out. Although the urban sprawl may be a necesity based on the growth of the population, at the same time, that is the reason why the downtown area continues to struggle in attracting people. One thing that most successful cities have is an identified landscape defined by thier cityscape. Fargo has done a great job at perserving the past with refinishing and updating the historic building downtown, but it is time to look to the future and not the past. We have the skills, the technology, the will and the need to build buildings downtown that will not only attract business, but also give us an identity.
