FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Downtown Fargo has been named by the American Planning Association as one of 10 neighborhoods around the country honored in its ``Great Places in America' program.
Officials say the designation is for Fargo's historic character and revitalization during the past decade. A statement announcing the award says more than $100 million in public and private investments have been made since 1999 to change what the association calls a ``rough, northern frontier image' into one that's more metropolitan.
The APA says overall building values in the downtown Fargo neighborhood have risen 110 percent, from $103 million in 2000 to more than $218 million this year.
