Fargodome special election
The special election on whether to renovate and expand the Fargodome is one week away.
The Tuesday, Dec. 5, special election will consist of a single ballot measure asking voters whether or not to approve a new quarter-cent sales tax and additional 3 percent lodging tax to fund $140 million in renovations to the Fargodome, including a 90,000-square-foot addition that would house a new conference center.
In-person voting will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. next Tuesday, however absentee voting is an option for those who don’t want to wander out into the winter weather. Time is running out, though.
