Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: On March 2, 2020, the heritage preservation commission made a motion to formally submit this CLG application at a special meeting. The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the city to accept a $13,000 certified local government (CLG) grant from the Minnesota State Historic Preservation office (SHPO) to host the 2021 Preserve Minnesota Annual Historic Conference in Duluth. At this time SHPO is uncertain if the 2020 Annual Conference will be held in Stillwater this September. If this year’s conference is postponed, Duluth may be asked to host in 2022.
