Past Events

Members from the nationally recognized consulting team of MIG converged on Duluth in August.  During that visit, they did on-the-ground fact finding and listening.  They were involved in various tours of the downtown community, hosted focus groups, attended Power up the Plaza and discussed a 5-year vision with the Imagine Downtown Steering Committee.

Power Up The Plaza | Some questions that were asked at the event:

  • What is your favorite way to spend time in Duluth's downtown?
  • What is your vision for the future of Duluth's downtown?
  • I think Duluth's Downtown is a fun and engaging place to visit
  • What events would you like to see here in this space?

Focus Groups:

MIG's consulting team conducted several small focus groups to determine what community members considered important, and what they wanted to see in the downtown.

Focus Group 1: Bagley Building

Focus Group 2: Bagley Building
