St. Louis County’s Presentation on Tax Forfeited Properties on Park Point, October 3,2012

Thank you to the county  and city officials who presented this information on Park Point properties that may be up for sale. All of these properties were private property at one time. The county does not want to be in the rental business on Park Point so would like to sell this land and get it back on the tax rolls. Both the City of Duluth and the Port Authority must ok this land sale. In some cases, the DNR will also be involved. Sharla Gardner will be bringing a resolution before the City Council, date tbd, to get the process moving along. Please contact County Commissioner Frank Jewell with your concerns and questions.
