Voters have opportunity to fund public library/community center on November 8

On November 8, Moorhead voters will have the opportunity to approve a 0.5 percent local option sales tax to be used to fund a new Regional Library/Community Center in downtown Moorhead.

Mayor Shelly Carlson appointed a citizen-led Community Center/Regional Library Task Force in fall 2021 to work with the community to develop the vision for this project, including features/amenities and location.

In spring 2022, the Task Force and the City of Moorhead held several public listening sessions to learn what citizens wanted to see in the project. The feedback from these citizen-input sessions led to the creation of renderings from JLG that show what the project could look like when completed.

City of Moorhead polling places and other logistics are available at cityofmoorhead.com. You can also find registration deadlines and additional information on voting in Minnesota at vote411.org/minnesota.
