Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:  The purpose of this resolution is to increase the Fiscal Year 2015 project amount by $101,200 for the West Duluth Food Access and Education Project. The project includes improvements to the blighted and flood damaged lots at 45th Ave W and Grand Avenue and when completed will include a community garden, community gathering space and a greenhouse. Community partners for the project include the Duluth Community Garden Program and Community Action Duluth Seeds of Success Program.

The funding will come from completed economic development projects by CHUM, Neighborhood Youth Services, Life House, Community Action Duluth, and Entrepreneur Fund within the Duluth at Work program that are now complete.  The Duluth at Work program is a benchmark based program where low income individuals are trained and employed and increase their income over three years.
