There are nine regional authorities in Duluth, and we’re going to talk about a few of the most common ones, and the ones people most commonly assume are owned or operated by the City of Duluth.

Authorities are public entities created under state statutes to focus on one specific community need or issue. They have their own budgets, their own executive directors, their own boards, and in some cases are authorized to levy property taxes. They operate independently from other forms of government, including the City of Duluth.

Authorities within the Duluth community include the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC), Duluth Airport Authority (DAA), Duluth Transit Authority (DTA), Duluth Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (Resource Renew), Seaway Port Authority of Duluth, Spirit Mountain Recreation Area Authority and Lake Superior Center Authority (Great Lakes Aquarium).

Congratulations to the Saints and President Kelly!

Big day up at Cirrus to help celebrate the groundbreaking for their new Engine Run-up Center! This new facility is designed to handle final pre-flight and production testing. The facility will also eliminate the need to do testing on the tarmac by moving it to a controlled indoor environment. While there I was also able to get a tour of the Cirrus campus and manufacturing facility and get an up close and personal look at their Vision Jet!

Because of Cirrus, Duluth is home to two of the most recognizable aircraft in modern general aviation: the Cirrus SR Series and the Cirrus Vision Jet. Together, they give Duluth a legitimate claim to global significance in aviation manufacturing. The SR series is a world-leading piston single-engine aircraft line, while the Vision Jet has pioneered a new category of single-engine jet aircraft.

The planned reconstruction of 4th Street between Mesaba Avenue and 6th Avenue East is moving ahead! At their last meeting, the City Council recently voted to support plans to fully reconstruct the roadway, replace sidewalks, and upgrade underground utilities and street lighting. The rebuild plans also improve public safety and accessibility and by creating off-street space for non-motorized transportation options. Construction of 4th Street is slated to begin in 2028 and will be funded through a combination of federal funds, Minnesota State Aid funds and City utility funds.

It was an honor to join nearly 200 people in celebrating the remarkable 46-year legacy of the Singing Slovenes, and proclaim it “Singing Slovenes Day” in the City of Duluth! Since This extraordinary group has shared Slovenian music, culture, and traditions while building friendships and serving as ambassadors for Duluth and Slovenian heritage across our region and beyond for 46 years.

Congratulations to Frank Bucar, the members, families, and supporters who made this journey possible. Thank you for 46 years of enriching our community. Your music may have reached its final note, but your legacy will continue to resonate throughout Duluth for years to come!

I had a great visit with staff and participants at Lighthouse Center for Vital Living to learn more about their services., tour their facility, and declared Thursday as White Cane Awareness Day in the City of Duluth. I was also able to experience a walk without sight from City Hall to their downtown location.

Lighthouse Center for Vital Living is one of the premier training centers in our state for people with vision loss. They have been providing training and job opportunities for people from across the state for more than 100 years.

Early voting for the November Midterms began today at City Hall. There is a designated space for voters on the third floor to help streamline their voting experience, as well as ease congestion in the City Clerk’s Office. Kids Voting also begins today for those that are too young to vote in this election! This fun activity is designed to engage our youngest citizens in the electoral process. Kids will “register to vote,” cast their ballot, and receive a special “I voted Sticker.”

An exciting step forward for housing in Duluth! Yesterday, we broke ground on The Legacy Apartments located on campus at Lake Superior College is bringing 148 new housing units at a range of price points. This is another important step toward our strategic priority of expanding housing at all income levels.

For the first time, Lake Superior College will have housing right on campus, creating new opportunities for students and adding options for faculty, alumni, and young professionals looking to make Duluth home.

Last night City Councilors took a historic step to properly zone and protect over 1,500 acres of land within city limits that contains the bulk of four significant hiking and biking trail systems: Mission, Brewer, Piedmont, and Amity. The changes include Park Dedication, the Duluth Natural Areas Program, and P1 (Parks and Open Space) zoning.

Opportunities to create more residential and commercial spaces start by setting aside the spaces we want to protect. These hiking and biking trails have become essential outdoor amenities in Duluth.

Today marks the 251st birthday of the United States Navy!

The USS Duluth anchor on Duluth’s Lakewalk is a reminder that the Navy’s story is also part of our community’s story. The ship was commissioned in 1965. The USS Duluth was an amphibious transport dock ship that supported operations from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf, including the evacuation of Saigon in 1975 and humanitarian relief following the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. Crewmembers from all over the country routinely return to Duluth for alumni gatherings.

To all who have served and continue to serve today - thank you! I’m honored to serve alongside you. Happy Birthday, Navy!
