FARGO (KFGO) – The Fargo City Commission unanimously approved a Dec. 5 special election seeking a $140 million expansion and renovation of Fargodome.
There will be one question on the ballot. City taxpayers will decide whether to approve a quarter-cent bump in the local sales tax and a 3% increase in the city lodging tax to pay for the proposed updates.
City Auditor Steve Sprague says only paper ballots will be used. All ballots will be counted by hand.
There will be three polling locations; Fargodome, the Ramada Inn, and Fargo Civic Center.
No early voting will be allowed, however, absentee ballots will be provided.
If the proposal passes with the required 60% vote, the taxes would continue for 20 years.
