FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) – The Fargo Forward Coalition has formed to promote an extension of the infrastructure sales tax in Fargo. 

The group, made up of business owners and long-time residents, argues that the sales tax helps keep special assessments and utility bills low and spreads the cost of projects around to visitors and tourists. The coalition says in 2024, the tax generated $34 million for core infrastructure projects

The ballot measure to extend the tax will require a vote of at least 60% in June to pass.
