Bayfront area public meeting to be held
December 2
The City of Duluth Planning Division invites the public to participate in the development of a Small Area Plan for the Bayfront District on December 2, 2009 at 6:30 PM. The meeting will take place in the Great Hall of the Depot.
The purpose of the Bayfront District Small Area Plan is to study the area just west of Bayfront Park and determine the appropriate mix of land uses. The study area, which has been the focus of numerous planning efforts to date, includes property owned by the Duluth Economic Development Authority (DEDA) as well as the LaFarge cement property that is currently for sale. It is the intent of the current planning process to use the information and recommendations assembled in previous plans as the basis for the Small Area Plan.
The public will be asked to work in small groups to review and discuss the recommendations from those previous plans and to offer additional insights reflecting current opportunities for the site.
It is anticipated that the Bayfront District Small Area Plan will be completed and ready to present to the Planning Commission and City Council in February 2010.
