State of the Cities 2026

January 8, 2026 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM (CST)

Description

The region’s cities — West Fargo, Horace, Fargo, Moorhead and Dilworth — are growing quickly. With that growth comes exciting opportunities and important decisions that affect businesses, neighborhoods and communities across the metro. As our region evolves, collaboration and leadership have never been more essential. 

On Jan. 8, at State of the Cities, convened by The FMWF Chamber, the mayors of all five cities come together on one stage for a rare, unified conversation about priorities, progress and the shared vision guiding our metro forward. This is your opportunity to hear firsthand how city leaders are advancing initiatives that strengthen communities, support local businesses and foster a thriving, connected region. 

What’s Next for This Region on the Rise? 

Our communities are advancing with purpose, making strategic decisions on infrastructure, housing, public safety and other key drivers of our region’s vitality. This year’s discussion will spotlight the priorities shaping regional growth and the opportunities where collaboration is making the greatest impact. 

Hear how city leaders are navigating the pivotal choices that influence economic development, livability and long-term sustainability. This is a chance to see how vision and partnership are guiding decisions that shape the region’s next chapter.  

What You’ll Gain 

  • A look inside each city’s goals, priorities and major initiatives 
  • A clearer understanding of shared challenges and regional opportunities 
  • Inspiration from the leadership shaping our communities’ future 
  • A chance to ask questions and be part of the discussion
