The Arrowhead Builders Association is introducing a new home and building expo earlier in the construction season to better serve Northland residents’ project timelines and needs.
During a Thursday morning news conference, ABA Board Chair Lindsey Whitlinger will outline details of the inaugural Build North Expo, including its location at the Duluth Heritage Center and several cost-free amenities such as parking and on-site daycare.
“Two things we’ve heard constantly over the years are that people want to start planning and building earlier in the year, and that they want to connect with experts who can take them from start to finish on their projects,” Whitlinger said. “That’s what the Build North Expo will do.”
The event will be produced by Jeff Stark of Winterfell Management, who has decades of experience organizing major regional events, including concerts by Elton John and the Eagles, Bayfront Festival Park gatherings and Tall Ships Duluth. Stark also will speak at the news conference.
“We just started accepting booth reservations this week, and already 75 well-known companies have committed to be part of the Build North Expo,” Stark said, noting that several company representatives plan to attend the announcement.
