Driving Growth in West Fargo

Whether working with startups, established businesses, or companies looking to expand, she is passionate about supporting economic success across industries in West Fargo. Her work helps shape the city’s dynamic business environment with a goal to help it remain a thriving community for entrepreneurs and residents alike.

Outside of work, Casey’s world revolves around family and community.

They also love the great outdoors, making time for camping trips and visiting family at lakes across Minnesota and North Dakota. Deeply connected to both her professional and personal communities, Casey is committed to making West Fargo a place where businesses and families can grow and thrive.

Summer’s Sweetest Treat at Lundy’s Ice Cream

For Casey, nothing says summer like a waffle cone filled with cookies & cream ice cream drizzled with caramel from Lundy’s Ice Cream at The Lights with her family. “My kiddos love to pick 1 of the 32 flavors and play in the Plaza,” she said. The combo of ice cream and space to run makes the perfect outing!

West Fargo’s Hidden Gem

Do Good Better Consulting Founder Patrick Kirby can be found speaking at events, hosting a podcast, or sharing insights in his book. His latest release, “Fundraise Like a 5th Grader,” brings fresh ideas to the fundraising world. For Casey, it’s an example of the kind of innovative, community-focused businesses that make West Fargo special.

Cruise Nights

Downtown Cruise Nights brings both a lineup of classic vehicles and the community together. “You don’t have to be a car or bike fanatic to enjoy it,” Casey said. “I recommend coming for the community, live music, and vendors!” Her family looks forward to these lively evenings, meeting up with friends, and enjoying the festive atmosphere!

Sweet Treat O’clock at Cookie Krums

Casey loves cookies—just not baking them. That’s why Cookie Krums has become her go-to bakery for all celebrations! “The best part is they are customizable and taste so yummy,” she said. It’s the perfect way to share something sweet while supporting a fantastic local business that knows how to make tasty cookies, unforgettable.

Family Fun At Maplewood Park

With three kids, different ages, finding the right park is a challenge. “This a great place to be active. There’s a space for toddlers and school-age kids to be more adventurous,” Casey said. Whether it’s climbing, swinging, or running, it’s an easy way to get all kids engaged!
