DULUTH, Minn. – Duluth Mayor Emily Larson held a virtual State of the City address Monday night acknowledging last year’s painful struggles through the pandemic and social justice issues surrounding George Floyd’s death while praising the city’s determination to come together peacefully with a focus on being a stronger, more equitable community.
“None of this will be easy. Last year tested us, and I hope we’ll never go through anything like it again. But I’m also confident as we emerge from this dark year. There is a brighter path forward,” Larson said.
Larson laid out three core principles for the year ahead: equity, sustainability and community.

In the year ahead, Duluth Mayor Emily Larson wants to start a police accreditation process, attract new internet providers to the city and launch a system for citizens to communicate with city officials.
All of that and more was laid out in the 2021 State of the City address.
Larson hasn t given a speech like this since 2019. She had one planned for 2020, but it was postponed when the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdowns began.
The speech was delivered virtually from City Hall.
Community Policing
Larson acknowledged the difficulty of the last year around not only the pandemic but also the death of George Floyd. She told a story about a Duluth Police sergeant who, when challenged by protestors, read a list of names of people who have been killed by police.
