FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- Local leaders are talking about their recent trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Lincoln, Nebraska.
40 city leaders including Fargo City Commissioners, FargoDome and NDSU officials set out to those cities for inspiration in August.
Mike Williams says they visited those cities because they are very similar to Fargo in size and are also rapidly growing.
Williams says they learned ways to bring more enjoyment to Fargo without breaking the bank such as adding sculptures.
"It's a way to learn how other community's are doing it, and the excitement vibrancy they have down there. Also how we can implement it here. It's always good to experience a good design," says Fargo Planning Administrator Nicole Crutchfield.
One idea that came from Sioux Falls is to turn the civic center into a performing arts center.
