The purpose of this project is to assess the economic impact of the July 1, 2008, comprehensive smoking bans on businesses, specifically bars, within Fargo and West Fargo. Our approach was threefold. First, we conducted a horizontal and vertical analysis of the Accommodation and Food Services industries in Fargo, West Fargo, and Grand Forks. Second, we conducted a regression analysis of the tax data for these industries in Fargo and West Fargo. These first two sections took a macroeconomic approach and utilized tax data for Fargo and West Fargo. The city of Grand Forks, which allowed smoking in bars at the time of our study, served as a benchmark for the horizontal and vertical analysis. Third, we conducted a random survey of bar employees in Fargo and West Fargo to determine perceptions of changes in drinking establishments in the last two years.

This study addresses the changing age profile of North Dakota and the consequences it poses over the next 15 years. In particular, it focuses on the rapidly growing elderly population in the state and its impact on income generation. This is accomplished by using an economic simulation model to develop scenarios of income generation in North Dakota based on historical patterns. In brief, the model was designed to answer the question, “What will the distribution of income over the next 10 to 15 years look like if the current pattern of age-specific earnings continues into the future unchanged?” The goal of this research is to offer decision makers insight into how the state’s shifting age distribution will alter the type of income that is generated and its corresponding consequences. It is hoped that these results will spur debate and motivate policy makers to be proactive in finding innovative solutions that will mitigate the negative impacts that are forecast.

Overall summary of activities conducted by t he North Dakota State Data Center for the Otter Tail County Needs Assessment Committee.

The research findings presented in this report will give city leaders, policy makers, and school administrators insight into student and parent perceptions regarding safe routes to school and barriers that prevent students from walking or bicycling to and from school. This study was designed as a collaborative project intended to offer a city-wide perspective of all Fargo public schools. Through the efforts and support of the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments (Metro COG), West Fargo, Moorhead, Dilworth, and Glyndon public schools were included in the study.

This is one of two parts to a study commissioned by Clay County Public Health. Two surveys were conducted at the Moorhead campus of Minnesota State Community and Technical College(MSCTC-Moorhead) - one with students and one with faculty/staff. The study gathered information from the campus community regarding attitude and behaviors toward tobacco use and issues pertaining to smoking and secondhand smoke policies.
