A Brush With Kindness

Low income residents in the Twin Ports are benefitting from a new program introduced by Habitat for Humanity.  It's called "A Brush With Kindness" and matches up eligible homowners in need of exterior repairs to service groups, businesses, clubs and churches looking for opportunities to make a difference in their community.  Several such projects are being accomplished in Duluth, Superior and Cloquet this spring.  This and other Habitat For Humanity programs are in need of volunteers and monetary donations.  Get more information at www.habitatduluth.org

Duluth Mayor Don Ness was a guest on the program today and talked about the positive impact that the purchase of the Norshor Theater will have on the continuing refurbishing of the "old downtown" area east of Lake Avenue.  The mayor also touched on the importance of the new airport terminal building that has now acquired needed state and federal financing.  Phase one of that project is already underway.
