Fargo Moorhead's Targeted Sectors
The Fargo-Moorhead region is not defined by any one industry but instead is a collection of thriving and diverse industry sectors.
In fact, the Fargo Moorhead metro ranks 192nd in population, (putting us in the top 50% of all metros) while at the same time, our industry diversity puts us in the top 19% of all metros. Fargo Moorhead benefits from highly diversified sectors. Fargo-Moorhead is ranked as one of the most recession-proof communities in the country.
Our organization focuses on continuing to add to that diversity by focusing on growth within targeted sectors including: AgTech, Bioscience and Autonomous Systems/UAS.
Community Profile
BEST. FINEST. TOPS.
We know some things about working hard and blowing off steam, and a few more about loyalty, safety and quality. Maybe that’s why Fargo-Moorhead keeps turning up on best-of lists for everything from livability to low stress to high satisfaction.
Fargo-Moorhead combines urban excitement with small-town friendly, reliability and safety. The metro encompasses Cass County on the North Dakota side of the Red River and Clay County on the Minnesota side. Together we’re about 252,000 strong.
And when it comes to families, Fargo-Moorhead is definitely tops. Many tangibles make this a wonderful place to raise your family – low overall and violent crime rates, clean air and water, great schools and medical facilities, short drive times and plentiful, affordable housing. Other reasons are not so measurable but just as important – friendly people, tight-knit neighborhoods, a strong sense of community, solid values and a genuine concern for others.
Check out all the amenities, community characteristics and services that make Fargo-Moorhead one of the nation’s top metro areas. We think you’ll like it here.
