City of Duluth celebrates May as Building Safety Month 2025

 

 

[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth’s Planning and Economic Development Department is celebrating the month of May as Building Safety Month 2025.

 

Created 45 years ago, the purpose of Building Safety Month is to increase awareness around the importance of building codes and to highlight the crucial role that building safety professionals play in the protection of billions of lives around the world.

 

Building codes are used to protect new homes, offices, schools, manufacturing facilities, stores, and entertainment venues.  Adoption and administration of modern, regularly updated building codes helps individuals and businesses create safe and sustainable structures.

 

For the rest of the month of May, the City of Duluth will publish weekly press releases highlighting different elements of building safety. And on Wednesday, May 28, there will be a short public educational event for those that want to learn more.  Details of the specific time and place of this event will be forthcoming.   More information can be found: https://duluthmn.gov/csi/building-safety-month-2025/.
