FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- The city's liquor control committee has approved the sale of a downtown bar.
If the city commission approves, Fort Nok's "Bar of Gold," in the former First National Bank building at 52 Broadway, will be sold to Scott Neal with RD Offutt Company. Neal's application says he plans to keep the bar open with the possibility of constucting a new building in a parking lot to the north.
City Auditor Steve Sprauge says the sale is part of a potential downtown development by Offutt for a new headquarters building. The city has also been in talks with the company about a public-private partnership for a downtown parking ramp.
