City Of Duluth Asking For Public Feedback Various Aspects Of Life In Duluth

Duluth Mayor Roger Reinert just put out a call for public feedback from residents about various aspects of life in Duluth.

Working with the city government, he announced a new feedback survey that is designed to give city leaders a better understanding of how residents feel about what city government priorities should be, how they feel about city-provided services, and offer input on how the City of Duluth should proceed with future investments and policy decisions.

The survey, which was made public yesterday (September 25), should take about 10 minutes to complete, according to a press release from Mayor Reinert.

In the release, Mayor Reinert asks Dulutians to take the time to provide feedback, saying:

“I encourage Duluthians to take ten minutes and participate. We need resident input as the City considers policy and funding priorities. From streets and utilities to parks and libraries, housing, public safety, and economic development, the inaugural resident survey will shape decisions that impact every Duluthian."

The survey is being conducted in collaboration with UMD's Bureau of Business and
Economic Research (BBER), which is part of the university's Labovitz School of
Business and Economics.
