It looks like there's talk of expanding Minnesota's ARMER system into Cass County/Fargo, ND area. This is a first for the ARMER system. There are some cross-border agencies that have participation agreements, but it would be the first time an entire neighboring county would be migrating entirely onto the system. I believe the plan is for a 4 site simulcast subsystem in the Fargo area and 5 standalone sites elsewhere. Would piggyback off of the zone 6 controller.
Apparently the Fargo-Moorhead area is unique in that Fargo actually does the dispatching for both sides of the river. This will greatly enhance operations between the two cities.
