I think it would be worth exploring the development of a designated shipping hub similar to the Northern Plains Commerce Centre in Bismarck. I know the Bismarck facility failed or is idle, but something like this would perhaps be more pertinent for Fargo and could help spur further industrial development, and given Fargo's larger size and better location along two interstates, such a facility could be a successful endeavor for Fargo.

Given the existing infrastructure near the airport (i.e. adjacent to I-29 and railroads), such a facility would be fairly simple to set up and could make Fargo an attractive city for larger corporations to set up manufacturing facilities in north/northwest Fargo and the rest of the metropolitan area. An expanded manufacturing sector would also further diversify Fargo's economy, making it (theoretically) even more stable and dynamic.

Furthermore, if such a facility were available and eventually successful, the increased truck traffic could make an interstate or other major highway bypass around the north of the city a viable option for construction, providing a great avenue for further development to the north of town.

Please feel free to provide feedback on such an idea; I know most of the ideas posted on here seem to be aesthetically based (or tourist/recreational based), but something like this could be a huge asset to existing and potential businesses in the area, and any potential duties on in/exports would provide a great funding boost for other projects in the area.
