What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The old Shoppers Auto parking ramp at 18 N 2nd Avenue West in Downtown Duluth was demolished, concluding a project that began in April 2025 and finished in October 2026. The Duluth Economic Development Authority owns the property, and Mayor Roger Reinert confirmed the site is now ready for redevelopment. The project cost surpassed $3 million, which is triple the original estimate of under $1 million, due to the discovery of "urban fill".
