Fargo Urban Renewal-Main Avenue 

Planning and requests for funding began in 1955, but were set aside until 1961 in order to better concentrate on the Urban Renewal project involving Fourth Street.  In 1964, the city and HUD signed a contract for the renewal of Main Avenue.  On June 30, 1974 the Urban Renewal Agency closed out, with one property remaining (Parcel E) and was succeeded by Housing and Redevelopment Agency of Fargo.

The collection contains meeting minutes, correspondence, applications, supporting documents, subject files, financial records, maps and other material relating to land acquisition, property management, relocation of families and businesses, and land dispositions in projects partially funding by U.S. Housing and Home Finance Agency.
