Chamber CEO stresses importance of public safety in attracting economic development

(Fargo, ND) -- The President and CEO of the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce is talking about the importance of safe communities when it comes to attracting new businesses and economic development to the metro.
