City of Duluth hosting three open house events to inform and gather feedback regarding Athletics Venues Reinvestment Initiative
[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth is developing an Athletic Venues Reinvestment Initiative (AVRI) action plan to guide over $30 million of investments in park-based athletic venues that drive regional sports tourism.
The action plan will provide prioritized recommendations for investment in both indoor and outdoor athletic venues that serve the Duluth community now and into the future. This planning effort will take a fresh look at our existing athletic facilities, explore new opportunities for reinvestment and co-investment, and engage community members to ensure the action plan reflects local values and priorities.
Three public, informational open house events are planned for community members to learn more about AVRI and to provide their input, preferences, and priorities. Participants may come and go as they please in these open house events, staying for as little or as much time as they’d like. Participants need only attend one open house, as the same information and input opportunities will be provided at each.
The open house events will take place at the following times and locations across the city:
Open House #1: Tuesday, August 27 at Portman Community Center, 4601 McCulloch Street, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.
Open House #2: Wednesday, August 28 at Duluth Public Library, 520 W. Superior Street (in the Green Room), from 11:15am – 1:15pm.
Open House #3: Wednesday, August 28 at Morgan Park Community Center, 1242 88th Avenue W. from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.
