- District No. 2271 – 7th Avenue NW and 5th Street Court NW.
- This will use the existing gravel roadway to reconstruct it into a concrete surface with storm sewer and utility adjustments.
Some property owners spoke as they wondered how and where their money is going. City workers had answers:
“It’s in a state of processing as far as who’s paying for those, how much they pay. I know the city commission is pretty adamant about trying to lower special assessments. I think they understand that special assessments are kind of how we pay for a lot of infrastructure, and they’re here to stay, unfortunately,” said Jerry Wallace, City Engineer for the City of West Fargo.
