DULUTH, Minn. – Duluth Mayor Emily Larson announced during a Thursday press conference her recommendations for the next steps in supporting Spirit Mountain Recreational Area.
The mayor’s proposed plan includes launching a $24 million capital reinvestment program funded 50% by state bonding, 25% by the City from tourism taxes, and 25% by Spirit Mountain.
“Now is the time to do this with Spirit Mountain,” Mayor Larson said. “No more Band-Aids. It’s ready for a good fix. There is a saying, “If you can’t get out of it, get into it.” So, let’s get into it.”
The capital projects would improve the economic impact, community benefit, and financial performance of Spirit Mountain.
