The Fargo Park Board has unanimously approved a three year lease extension for the Broadway Senior Center, keeping the north Fargo facility open through 2029. The decision followed strong community support, including more than two dozen seniors who traveled together to a recent meeting to advocate for preserving the center they consider an important gathering place for meals, activities, and connection. Concerns over rising rent had previously put the location at risk, prompting discussions about possible relocations.

Park officials said community feedback made it clear the center plays a vital role beyond basic services, especially for seniors who rely on its accessibility and social opportunities. While the extension offers relief for now, some attendees hope for a more permanent long term solution to keep senior services available on Fargo’s north side.
