City of Duluth Seeking Input on 11 Neighborhood Parks

(A St. Louis River Corridor Initiative Project)

[Duluth, MN] - Community input is being sought by the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation Department to develop mini-master plans for eleven neighborhood parks in the St. Louis River Corridor: Historical, Fond du Lac, Blackmer, Smithville, Riverside, Norton, Keene Creek, Grassy Point, Merritt, Harrison, and Piedmont. Preliminary concept plans have been developed for the parks following stakeholder and public meetings, held in September and October.

An online survey is available at the City of Duluth website: www.duluthmn.gov/st-louis-river-corridor/neighborhood-parks/. The survey link will be open through December 6, 2015. Draft Mini-Master Plans will be released in early 2016 for final comments. The Mini-Master Plans are being developed as part of the St. Louis River Corridor Initiative.

St. Louis River Corridor Initiative – Connecting People to the River

The St. Louis River Corridor Initiative invests in public park and trail improvements from Lincoln Park to the Fond du Lac neighborhood.

The overall goals of the Initiative are to support the natural environment, enrich neighborhood quality of life, attract new home buyers, establish new visitor destinations and stimulate appropriate development.

Initiative projects are funded in part by $18 million in bonds, collected through the ½ and ½ tourism tax approved by the Minnesota Legislature in 2014. These funds will leverage additional dollars through community partnerships and grants.
