Lake Superior Zoo Proposed Concepts Available for Public Review

- Public encouraged to provide input -

 

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth invites the public to view and comment on the three proposed concept plans for improvements to the Lake Superior Zoo and Fairmount Park. The plans were presented by a consultant to the community at a January 19, 2016 Duluth Parks Commission Open House. The concepts envision a renewed zoo in a roughly 10-acre footprint and converts a portion of the existing zoo to become a top-quality free public park for the St. Louis River Corridor. The plan is estimated at $15 million and has $2.7 million of half-and-half funding already allotted to it. The plans and an online survey are available at, 

http://www.duluthmn.gov/st-louis-river-corridor/fairmount-park-and-zoo-planning/lake-superior-zoo-concepts/

 

The online survey will close January 27, 2016. The next public meeting will be held February 10, 2016 with public notice to be sent out.
