Connect at Clyde luncheon today

Mark Poirier of the Armory Arts and Music Center and Dan Collison of Sherman Associates are guest speakers at a luncheon at 11:45 a.m. today Clyde Iron Works, Restaurant, Brewery and Event Center in Duluth's Friendly West End.

The Armory Arts and Music Center is partnering with Sherman Associates to complete a $42 million restoration of the Duluth Armory. The restoration of the Duluth Armory will honor the past and reimagine the future while providing important community space for economic and entrepreneurial development, arts and culture, and a place for history to come alive for future generations.

The event will feature an in-depth look into these plans, the timeline for renovations and the status of support needed from the State of Minnesota to complete the project.
