The City of Duluth received a Bronze Excellence in Economic Development Award for its involvement in the Clyde Park Project with owner Alessandro Giuliani, in the category of Real Estate Redevelopment & Reuse for communities with populations of 25,000 - 200,000 from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).

The honor was presented at an awards ceremony during the IEDC Annual Conference, which was held October 19-22, in Fort Worth, Texas.

"Economic development efforts have long been a keystone in the quest to bolster the economy and improve quality of life in every locality across the country," said Bill Sproull, IEDC chair. "As the nation continues to tackle challenges in the midst of global uncertainty, these efforts have taken on an even greater significance. With this award, we laud trendsetting organizations like City of Duluth for leading the charge."

Clyde Park is a $26+ million, multi-faceted, 5 year redevelopment project located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth that creatively transformed a vacant iron works manufacturing facility into a modern multi-purpose restaurant/event center, Duluth Heritage Sports Center, Boys and Girls Club and a Children's Museum.
