Mayor Emily Larson makes statement on lighting Duluth landmarks

[Duluth, MN] This morning, Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Mayor Emily Larson wrote a letter to the community in regards to lighting Duluth’s landmarks. Her letter to the community is below.

Good Morning,

Sometimes you make a decision based on important variables like rules and fairness and then understand that those things really don’t apply.

Sometimes you are working to do all the right things, and your heart confirms that there is more.

The community is right. Thank you for reminding me of who Duluth is.

Through Sunday, the Aerial Lift Bridge and Enger Tower will be lit in support of, and in solidarity with, Ukraine.

What appears simple from the outside quickly gets layered and nuanced with important and relevant details. Thank you to staff who have spent time all weekend and yesterday on this with me.

We will have an updated lighting policy in place in 60 days and will share that with the community at that time.

With gratitude and hope for our world,

Emily

Mayor Emily Larson
