Joining the Chamber of Commerce to Fuel Our Economic Future

Communities are an amazing thing. They give us a place to call home, they inspire us to support our neighbors – they bring people together. That’s why we donated $300,000 to Fueling Our Future, an economic development initiative driven largely by the Chamber of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo.

Since our founding in 1923, we’ve never stopped looking to the future. So, naturally, the Fueling Our Future initiative aligns perfectly with our mission: to provide a welcoming atmosphere and commitment to making the lives of our customers and team members better by investing in them and their communities – For a Better Way of Life.®

The program is operated by the Chamber of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo, along with the Greater Fargo Moorhead Economic Development Corporation. It gives regional leaders a chance to meet, share ideas and invest in projects that have a lasting impact on the economy. And with Gate City Bank's financial and logistical support, it's helping the region thrive.

“At Gate City Bank, we truly understand that teamwork fuels the economic prosperity of our local communities,” says Kevin Hanson, President & CEO. “Business and community leaders involved with Fueling Our Future are in a unique position to support progress and create a better way of life together.”

Ultimately, the goals of Fueling Our Future are to establish the region as an attractive business location, alleviate long-term workforce shortages and support career education and awareness. Programming falls into three key areas:

People

Strengthening the workforce through retention, recruitment and talent development.
Place

Enhancing quality of life and place-based assets of the region to benefit businesses, citizens and visitors.
Prosperity

Attracting new businesses to the area while retaining and supporting existing ones.

Emerging Digital Academy is merely one of many examples of how Fueling Our Future is already supporting the region. It’s North Dakota’s only immersive coding bootcamp, presented as a 20-week course. Fueling Our Future is a proud financial supporter of the course, and aims to meet the growing workforce demand for these critical skills.

Fueling Our Future has also helped create a certified shovel-ready-sites program to aid in the attraction and expansion of businesses in our region. The initial work phase has already begun. It has also invested in a workforce initiative, Ignite FMWF, which is designed to be a comprehensive, streamlined and systematic approach to addressing our regional workforce and talent needs.

“Thanks to Gate City Bank and other community partners, we’re improving the lives of people in our communities, and the communities themselves, in incredible ways.”
