WEST FARGO Residents will be able to give the city their thoughts once more on the proposed $10.5 million reconstruction project that will soon get underway.
The city has been planning the project for more than two years.

Two Rugby residents walk for exercise in the Rugby Armory on a recent Friday morning. The City of Rugby has scheduled a public hearing for March 15 at 7 p.m. to present a plan for updating the facility.
City of Rugby government committees made final recommendations for a controversial project at the city recreation complex in regular meetings held Wednesday, Jan. 20, at city hall.

More expenses were incurred when the contractor, Austin Harles of Fargo firm MBF Drain Tile used city equipment for some of the work and according to recreation committee members, damaged fencing on the property.
