Fargo, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The flood fight for the Spring of 2020 is underway in Fargo and Cass County.  Fargo’s Sandbag Central officially opened for business early this morning.

Sandbag Central opened at 7 a.m. this morning and  will continue on a 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekday schedule until the 400,000 sandbag goal has been reached. Sandbag Central is located at 2301 8th Avenue North in Fargo.
