WEST FARGO, N.D. The city of West Fargo is taking a cue from the federal government albeit on a much smaller scale and hoping to give out household stimulus gifts as a way to help residents as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on.
City commissioner Eric Gjerdevig suggested Monday, Dec. 21, that the commission give each West Fargo household a $20-$25 gift card to be used at West Fargo small businesses. It isn t much, but at least it pays something, he said.
