In this week’s Rocky’s Downtown Hour, host Rocky Schneider dives into the big questions shaping Fargo’s future — from where to build the city’s next convention center to how local philanthropy and nonprofits are transforming lives.
Rocky starts with a breakdown of Fargo’s nine convention center proposals and why the downtown option could be the city’s biggest win yet for economic growth and community vibrancy. Then, he’s joined by Eric Wilkie of the FM Area Foundation to talk about how local generosity powers everything from affordable housing to public art and the annual Caring Catalog initiative.
Later, Rocky sits down with Taylor Severson of United Way and Chandler Esslinger of the FM Coalition to End Homelessness to explore how their “United to End Homelessness” effort is creating real solutions — from preventing housing crises to helping the most vulnerable find permanent stability.
It’s a deep, hopeful, and hometown-focused conversation about how cities grow stronger when communities care.
