The Duluth Economic Development Authority has unanimously approved the transfer of five vacant land sites around the city to developers. They plan to construct tiny homes and townhomes on the sites.
Duluth will now lead the state in planned tiny home developments.
The houses will be built as part of the Rebuild Duluth Plan. It allows developers to build on city land for free if they plan housing that meets goals for affordability and sustainability.
In this case, there will be fifteen tiny homes built on vacant land around the city. There will also be townhomes built on those plots of land that are located in the Fairmount, Gary, and Central Hillside neighborhoods.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's budget proposal, which includes raising taxes on the wealthiest Minnesotans to close a projected $1.28 billion gap in the next two-year budget, is generating mixed reaction among Northland legislators.

DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The City of Duluth will hold a virtual public meeting Tuesday afternoon 4:00 to discuss plans for the third phase of the Cross City Trail.
City staff will review project information, answer questions, and obtain feedback from
participants about the project at the meeting.
The Cross City Trail Mini-Master Plan, completed in 2017, calls for a paved, separated pathway for non-motorized users connecting the Lakewalk in Downtown Duluth with the Munger Trail near the Lake Superior Zoo.
Phases 1, 2, and 4 of the Cross City Trail have now been built between the Lakewalk and Irving Park. The Phase 3 project is intended to establish a preferred route for the extension from Irving Park to Green Street.
