FARGO — Fargo has fronted more than $1 million in taxpayer money to open a homelessness services facility, and donations meant to reimburse the city for the center have slowed in recent months.

The city secured $573,892 in donations to the Resource and Recovery Center, Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation Executive Director Eric Wilkie said last week. Wilkie’s organization manages the fund for the city, but Fargo leaders are responsible for raising money for the facility.

The amount raised is less than double the $292,737 that the foundation reported in March. Fargo Mayor Josh Boschee, who is leading the effort to raise funds for the center at 2001 First Ave. N., said Wednesday, Sept. 30, that fundraising slowed after the transition from former Mayor Tim Mahoney to Boschee.

Boschee succeeded Mahoney this year as mayor after winning the primary election in June. Mahoney started raising money for the center when he was mayor.

Fargo has set a goal of raising more than $2.2 million for the center, city spokesman Archie Ingersoll said. Boschee said he and his team have worked in recent weeks on collecting donations and telling potential donors this is a worthy investment.

“In terms of confidence, we live in a very generous community,” Boschee said. “We've seen many other times when people are willing to step up when there's a need, and that’s part of the story we want to tell going forward.”

The Resource and Recovery Center opened in May. Services offered there once were housed in the Downtown Engagement Center (DEC) at 222 Fourth St. N.

The DEC opened in 2020 using federal funds for coronavirus relief and response. Meant as a temporary solution to help those experiencing homelessness, city staff said the DEC became crowded as homelessness in Fargo grew. Businesses also voiced concerns about homelessness impacting foot traffic in downtown Fargo.

The City Commission voted in October 2025 to move homelessness services from the DEC to 2001 First Ave. N., which was a former warehouse. The DEC was then rebranded as the Resource and Recovery Center.

Developers have discussed turning the DEC building into a hotel.

The one-floor, 54,500-square-foot warehouse that serves as the Resource and Recovery Center offered more space and the ability to provide services more efficiently, city staff said. Relocating homelessness services was based on years of research, City Administrator Michael Redlinger said.

The October 2025 vote included a caveat that the city raise money to pay for the center. The city signed a two-year lease for the warehouse that began Jan. 1.

Fargo agreed that rent for the center would be $480,360 for two years, or $20,015 a month, Ingersoll said.

The city hasn’t discussed whether it will renew the lease or purchase the building when the current rental agreement expires, Redlinger said. The city has focused its time on fundraising, but what to do after the lease expires will be determined in 2027, he said.

“We will have those conversations with the elected officials going forward,” he said.

Questions about funding

Commissioner Michelle Turnberg, who has voted against efforts to open the center, raised questions about funding for the facility during a City Finance Committee meeting last month. Fargo Finance Director Susan Thompson revealed the city used $1.3 million from its building fund to pay for renovations at the center.

Donations covered $120,000 in rent, while the city used $80,000 from its general fund to cover the remaining rent, Redlinger said.

The city anticipated paying costs upfront to support the center while waiting for donation reimbursements, Redlinger said. Some city entities, including the Fargo Police Department, are using the facility along with nonprofits, he said.

The Impact Foundation turned down a City Commission request to use $144,000 in “Spirit of Fargo” donations to help equip the center and cover winter warming operations, Thompson said. Mahoney presented the idea to use those funds for the center at his final commission meeting in June.

Impact Foundation Chairwoman Sindy Keller confirmed her organization’s board unanimously voted down the request on Aug. 24. Board members of the foundation, which oversees “Spirit of Fargo” money, didn’t feel the request fit the initial intent of the fund, which was set up to help those impacted by the 2009 flood, Keller said.

Boschee said the foundation had the authority to turn down the city’s request.

“Certainly, we would have loved to have that money transferred over, and that was part of the request from the previous commission,” Boschee said. “We understand that that’s their prerogative, and hopefully they find a good use for those funds.”

Fargo approved a 2027 budget last week that included $240,000 for winter warming operations at the center from city funds.

Mahoney previously told The Forum that the city initially estimated moving the center would cost between $2 million and $2.5 million. Further analysis and in-kind donations reduced the cost to set up the center to $1.4 million, he said.

Ingersoll told The Forum on Friday that Mahoney’s estimate didn’t include the two-year lease payments for the center and about $200,000 for Family HealthCare’s Homeless Health program next to the facility.

Renovating the warehouse to meet the needs of homelessness services cost roughly $1.7 million, roughly $116,000 more than initially expected, Ingersoll said.

On its website, Family HealthCare lists Mahoney as a general surgeon who provides clinical treatment for lumps, bumps and surgical diseases. He is also the health officer for Fargo Cass Public Health, which oversaw the DEC and currently manages the Resource and Recovery Center.

He does not provide services at the Resource and Recovery Center in his capacity as health officer, nor does he work there as a Family HealthCare physician, Fargo Cass Public Health spokeswoman Holly Scott said. Mahoney provides services as a doctor at Family HealthCare's downtown clinic, she said.

"As the health officer for Fargo Cass Public Health, Dr. Mahoney provides medical guidance, consultation and support for a variety of programs," Scott said. "The health officer does not provide direct service for FCPH patients or clients."

Family HealthCare is the only clinic in the state that offers a homeless health program, Scott said. The health clinic has a long history of providing services to those experiencing homelessness, including at the DEC, she said.

Family HealthCare is known for helping uninsured or underinsured patients by setting up payment plans and using financial assistance programs, according to its website. The clinic also receives federal funds to operate, including for its homelessness clinic, Public Health Harm Reduction Division Director Jan Eliassen said.

Eliassen said the partnership between the clinic and the DEC was a natural fit. It made sense to have the clinic's homeless health program in the same building where other homeless services were offered, she said.

The city and Public Health discussed the DEC relocation with nonprofits who provided services at the downtown facility and agreed they should continue at the Resource and Recovery Center, Scott said. That included Family HealthCare, she said.

The Resource and Recovery Center hosts more than 24 nonprofits that help those experiencing homelessness, Boschee said. The center is working and meeting the needs of the community, he said.

“I think we're proving a model that we can go to the state and say, ‘Hey, how do we replicate this in other parts of the state and make sure that folks are getting services where they're needed, where they live and in their own home communities?’” Boschee said. “I think there’s a lot of positives coming out of this, which is exciting.”

Part of fundraising includes seeing if residents and businesses support the center, Boschee said. People supported the idea of the center, and the city can tell potential donors stories of how the center is helping people, Boschee said.

“Going back to my time on the campaign, I heard overwhelmingly from people that they supported this idea. They just didn't know what it looked like,” he said. “And now we have to show folks what it looks like.”

MOORHEAD — Black Coffee and Waffle Bar is heading across the river, back into its home state, opening a location in the former Twenty Below space.

Black Coffee and Waffle Bar announced the new location on its Fargo Facebook page Friday, Oct. 2.

“We’ve got some news…. We’re heading across the river for a new location!” the Facebook post said. “We have been listening to your feedback in Fargo, and are going to try some new things over here.”

The new location, repurposing Moorhead’s former Twenty Below at 600 8th St. S., will be Black Coffee and Waffle Bar’s fourth location, with other restaurants operating in St. Paul, Roseville, Minnesota, and downtown Fargo.

The original location opened in Minneapolis in 2014 as a coffee shop serving buttermilk waffles with gourmet toppings. Continuing its brunch offerings, the Fargo location, 550 2nd Ave. N., opened in 2018.

The expansion comes as the business's downtown Fargo location is involved in an ongoing lawsuit with Fargo commercial real estate company DFI BE LLC.

DFI BE LLC, an entity associated with the Kilbourne Group that owned the building where Black Coffee and Waffle Bar operates until June 2026, filed the lawsuit in August in Cass County District Court. The complaint alleges Cimaglio is past due on rent and common-area maintenance charges totaling $126,658.55.

Cimaglio told The Forum the Black Coffee and Waffle Bar group was blindsided by the suit.

“We had a good relationship with them (Kilbourne Group) since opening, and thought we were working together the last few years here during this more difficult phase that downtown has gone through,” Cimaglio said. “This was true up until the very last day they owned that building.”

On Sept. 29, DFI BE LLC filed a motion seeking default or summary judgment in the case. The court has not ruled on the motion as of Oct. 7 — time of publication.

Despite the lawsuit, Cimaglio is excited for the opportunity that Moorhead will offer BWCB, saying the new location was a surprise opportunity for them.

“It was kind of random, but once that space opened up and we connected with the building owners, it became an opportunity we just couldn’t pass up.”

The Moorhead location will have the same “fast casual atmosphere” as the Fargo location Monday through Friday, but the new restaurant will offer full-service dining on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“The space is beautiful and is designed in a way that will allow us to expand our menu and offer full-service brunch on the weekends, but still provide casual space for anyone to just hang out, study, or connect with one another all other hours,” Cimaglio said.

Twenty Below Coffee operated at the Moorhead location from 2020 until closing its Moorhead and Fargo locations in June.

Now, the space is preparing to serve up coffee once again alongside buttermilk waffles and more brunch-related items.

“We're very excited about the possibilities, and are aiming to open this November,” Cimaglio told The Forum.

The former Fargo Twenty Below location is also preparing to welcome a new restaurant as Fiona’s Filipino Cuisine is renovating the 14 Roberts Street cafe as their own, also aiming to open before the end of the year.

FARGO — The Cass County State's Attorney's Office has secured technology upgrades that include artificial intelligence in several features.

It comes as AI has been criticized and scrutinized when used in legal arenas.

Officials with the attorney's office say it will be a valuable tool as they face staffing shortfalls, and leaders insist the technology will not replace real work by real people.

According to a recent memo to the Cass County Commission, facial recognition is not one of the features the state's attorney's office will look to utilize.

Instead, they say they're looking to focus on organizing all the data they're required to sift through.

"This isn't a replacement for a person, it's a work multiplier," said Jason Van Horn, assistant state’s attorney with Cass County.

The Cass County Commission voted unanimously to allow the office to pursue a technology upgrade for managing its caseload.

The software is called Axon Justice Premier Plus, at a cost of $27,000 per year, which is a higher tier of technology compared to what the office had previously.

While AI is a main feature, Van Horn said its role is similar to how Google searches are conducted.

"This new product is generative, but only in the sense that it can provide us summaries of something like a jail phone call or plots of medical records, 300 pages of medical records," Van Horn said.

Police in Fargo were recently criticized for using AI through facial recognition that incorrectly identified a Tennessee woman as the suspect in a bank fraud case in Fargo, leading to her spending months behind bars.

Van Horn said their intent is to keep human review at the forefront of their work.

"Let's say I get 300 pages of documents, tell me all the documents here where 'X' person is mentioned. Then it'll say, 'Maybe check these four or five, the other 296 might not be relevant to you,' or it can provide you a summary of 'this is generally what this is,' but you still have to go in and take a look at it," Van Horn said.

It's projected the technology could save staff between 100 and 200 hours per year reviewing evidence, which Van Horn said will help their sometimes-limited staff.

"We still need more bodies, but we think that this tool will allow the new bodies that we're trying to get and bodies that we already have, to do twice, three, four times the amount of work," Van Horn said.

The county commission also recently approved adding two positions for the state's attorney's office for the remainder of the year, beginning in September.

Fargo — Is it spooky season already?

Some may have just celebrated “Summerween,” the trend of celebrating Halloween during the summer, but Spirit Halloween says it’s spooky time already – opening almost a month sooner than last year.

Spirit Halloween opened their seasonal Fargo pop-up location at 4340 13th Ave. S. Aug 1.

This is the second year Spirit Halloween has opened in the former Party City location, but this year’s came nearly a month earlier than last year when it opened Aug. 30.

The early arrival comes as other retailers also begin filing shelves with Halloween merchandise. Alongside back to school items, stores including Menards and Walmart already have displays featuring candy, decorations, animatronics and inflatables.

At Spirit Halloween, this year’s new arrivals including props such as zombie babies and creepy dolls, LED-light up signs, statues and animatronics. Shoppers can also find merchandise including serial-killer themed hoodies, posters, bath sets and plush toys.

Costume options include characters and themes from “The Mandalorian,” “Toy Story,” “Dexter,” “Shrek” and “SpongeBob SquarePants,” along with Harry and Lloyd suits from “Dumb and Dumber” and inflatable costumes.

Spirit Halloween did not respond to requests for comment about the early opening or when the Fargo location will close for the season by time of publication.

The Fargo location is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

While the bookstore's original location— a cozy, gothic-vibe bookshop above Moonrise Cafe— was beloved, the steep stairs proved to be a barrier for many potential patrons and Johnson-Fowler knew she had plans to move to a bigger space when she opened at the start of the year.

Overbooked Michelle Forness, a now former high school English teacher of 25 years, opened Overbooked at 619 2nd Ave. N., in Fargo after years of dreaming of opening her own bookstore.

FARGO — Spaghetti Western, a staple of the downtown Fargo dining scene, is preparing to expand. Owners Fabrizio Di Gianni and Brighid Maguire recently signed a lease for 402 Broadway, the former home to Nova Eatery and Bernbaum’s, marking a major milestone for the family-owned restaurant.

The decision to relocate was driven by necessity. While the restaurant has seen steady success, the current kitchen at 524 Broadway has become too small to handle the volume of guests and the intensity of their scratch-made menu. With everything from pasta to sausage made in-house, storage constraints have often made daily operations a challenge.

The new location features a hotel-style kitchen and significantly more square footage, moving them from a 40-seat capacity to 70. This additional space will allow the team to offer a more robust menu.

“There’s a lot of very exciting things that we’re looking to do with the menu,” Fabrizio Di Gianni promised.

Planning is already underway to move into the historic space, which the owners hope to occupy by mid-fall. To minimize disruption, they aim to limit the transition to just a few days.

Visually, the owners intend to strike a balance between their own style and the building’s historic character. They plan to preserve the original maple floors while incorporating decor that reflects the 1890s Victorian and rural Western era.

“We’re really trying to preserve the coziness and customer service without undermining the reasons why we’re successful,” Brighid said.

For Di Gianni and Maguire, who started the business three years ago without financial backing, the expansion is deeply personal. They view the move as a way to thank the local community that has supported them from the beginning.

“Our regular customers have really become an extension of our own family,” Fabrizio said.

In the face of recent closures affecting other downtown businesses, the couple remains optimistic about the district’s future. And as they prepare for their new chapter, the owners remain focused on the heart of their business.

“There’s a dream as a family behind every business,” Fabrizio noted
