The City of Duluth has opened the application process for 2025 tourism tax allocations. The online application will be open until 4 p.m. on October 28, 2024.

The application process is intended to allow community organizations an opportunity to apply for tourism tax funding and allow the City to better understand both perceived need and intended application of these funds.

Tourism tax collections provided support to over 20 Duluth organizations in 2024. Funding recommendations for 2025 will be selected by City Administration and presented to the City Council for their approval.

Interested applicants can apply via the following link:

Howie: Dan Hanger’s quiet reign over the Twin Ports airwaves

Howie: When hospitals become economic engines

Dr. David Herman sees hospitals as ecosystems — living, breathing networks that keep small towns from disappearing. Duluth’s skyline now offers proof in steel and glass. The new St. Mary’s Medical Center doesn’t just treat patients. It sends a message: downtown Duluth still matters.
