Major Mixed-Use Development Fargo Village Advances in North Hanford
Hanford, CA — Fargo Village, a major 304-acre mixed-use development, is progressing on the north side of Hanford at the northeast corner of 12th Avenue and Fargo Avenue.
The project, developed by Woodside Homes of Fresno with land owned by the Paul Singh Family Limited Partnership, plans for over 1,100 new homes, including roughly 926 single-family residences and multifamily apartments. It also features 6.7 acres of neighborhood commercial space that could include retail stores, restaurants, a gas station, and drive-thrus, along with over 12 acres of parks and a dedicated 15-acre school site.
Pioneer Union Elementary School District recently acquired the 15-acre site within the development for a new TK through 8th grade school. The district filed a Notice of Exemption in late May. No high school is planned for the site, with students expected to attend existing schools in the Hanford Joint Union High School District.
Woodside Homes is serving as the master developer, responsible for building all major infrastructure including roads, utilities, parks, and commercial pads. Specific builders for the apartments and individual restaurant tenants have not yet been announced.
The City of Hanford released the Draft Environmental Impact Report last fall, with public comments accepted through October 2025. Phase 1, which includes about 435 single-family lots and the school site, could begin construction as early as 2026, followed by Phase 2 around 2029.
The project aligns with Hanford’s 2035 General Plan and is viewed by city officials as a key part of the area’s continued growth. More information and documents are available on the City of Hanford’s website under Current Projects.
