Collaborative Caretaking of Spaces and Neighbors

The City of Duluth received one of eight Love Your Block grants from the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation to support collaboration and caretaking in neighborhoods. This includes repairing structures, nurturing relationships, addressing solid waste, and centering resident voices to identify solutions for blighted spaces. In 2022, the Love Your Block team collaborated with residents on thirteen projects across Central Hillside and Lincoln Park. Heading into 2023, there are opportunities to further the impact and investment in our community. Join us to explore causes, symptoms, and impacts of blight – along with opportunities to improve our community block by block.
