The Duluth City Council chose to deviate Monday from Mayor Emily Larson s proposed plan for how the city should divvy up tourism tax proceeds next year.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Duluth s collections of tourism taxes are running about 30% below expectations this year, and Larson forecasts 2021 revenues will remain 25% below those of 2019, bringing in about $9 million versus $12 million last year.
