Print It! Roger Reinert on downtown Duluth housing

Roger Reinert Facebook page.

A Duluth Mayor Roger Reinert post on Facebook today – "Downtowns were once commercial, and then professional. Their future is residential. My goal is 1,000 people living in Downtown Duluth – an entire new neighborhood. Residents bring energy, investment, retail, and more eyes on things. Housing downtown isn't just talk. The new Lakeview 333 project is an exciting major step towards our goal. 210 units. 15 stories. $87M investment. Good for our community, good for our downtown, and good for our construction trades who will build this major new building – the tallest residential structure we've seen in decades. Projects like this don't just happen. BZ (Navy for “great job”!) to the development team, our planning and economic development staff, our partners at the Chamber and Downtown Duluth, and our local economic development authority. It took everyone rowing in the same direction to make this project happen!"

Howie: Bayfront still may be Duluth’s best idea

Bayfront remains one of the few places where the city still functions the way a healthy city is supposed to function: as a shared public space where people continue gathering together because they genuinely want to be there. Every summer, Duluth remembers that again.

Howie: While others talked revival, Gary Doty did the work

Survival, for many old industrial American cities during the late twentieth century, became the central challenge itself. Doty helped Duluth survive long enough to rediscover confidence in itself again. That is not a minor civic legacy.

Howie: Minnesota’s political civil war weekend

The emotional political truth in Minnesota: The DFL fears permanently losing working-class and regional voters. Republicans fear nominating candidates who thrill activists but collapse in the suburbs. Both fears are real.
