Will Fargo Choose a Convention Center?

Charley Johnson has one of the most recognizable faces and voices in the Red River Valley. As a longtime TV anchorman and later the leader of the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau, he has been at the center of major news in the region for decades.

As early as next week, the City Commission will choose a developer to build Fargo's new convention center. Johnson weighs in on the decision-making process that narrowed the field down to four finalists and one top choice, as well as the possibility that his committee’s work might not even matter.
