Fargo official Brenda Derrig ends 37-year career

Fargo is saying goodbye to a history-making official with nearly four decades of experience serving the city.

Brenda Derrig started as an intern with the city’s Civil Engineering Department in 1989 and is now ending her career as the assistant city administrator.
