City Officials believe communication with and guidance from the citizens of Duluth is instrumental in having a healthy community. Part of this guidance has come from the Citizen’s Budget Review Advisory Committee.  Previous Citizen’s Budget Review Advisory Committees reflected a great cross section of the citizenry and provided helpful feedback and recommendations on ways the City can be more efficient and effective in its daily operations. It is important to the City that citizens have confidence in our financial health and practices and be provided full access to all financial data.  The City is set to begin its 9th collaboration with the Citizen’s Budget Review Advisory Committee on February 19, 2020, for the FY2021 budget.

The first (February 19^th) meeting establishes an overview of the City’s budget process and what the Budget Committee’s role will be in the process. All Budget Committee participants will be given the City’s current operating budget (FY2020) and ten (10) year forecast presentation. They are asked to study the material and be ready to discuss them at the next meeting.

The second (February 26^th) meeting involves a review of draft figures for the preliminary FY2021 budget, debt service commitments, City initiatives, as well as information relating to Capital Reserve funds.

The third (March 4^th) meeting is geared toward recommendations from the Citizen’s committee, addressing any concerns with the budget and finally discussion of visionary opportunities for the City.

Officials and staff look forward to working with the citizens again this year. For additional information or if you would like to be a part of this committee please contact, Kim Jackson at kjackson@duluthga.net or 770-497-5321.

The first Dreamland was opened in 1958 by John “Big Daddy” Bishop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In the early years, Mr. Bishop and his wife, Ms. Lily, sold everything from burgers to postage stamps. Their barbecue ribs, however, quickly became the talk of the town. Before long, folks from all over the country began waiting in long lines stretching out the front door, wondering what all the fuss was about. Mr. Bishop’s legend grew and grew and, the rest, as they say, is history. While Dreamland has since expanded beyond their humble Tuscaloosa storefront, they’ve never forgotten their roots and Mr. Bishop’s incredible story. They hope you enjoy your visit and leave understanding why they proudly say, “Ain’t nothin’ like it, nowhere.”

Seasonal Promotion: Every Monday-Wednesday in December from 4 pm to 10 pm, Dreamland Duluth will be running a Kids Eat Free promotion. Rules and Exceptions: – Valid at the Duluth location only – Participating children must be 12 years old or younger – One free kids meal can be redeemed for each paying customer aged 13 years or older. – Dine-In only

Chattahoochee Yoga got their start by partnering with the City of Duluth Parks & Recreation department to offer classes to Duluth Residents.

In an unprecedented display of creativity, the Duluth City Council approved the purchase of a home in an established community for the purpose of creating a direct connection to downtown.  In January of 2019, this home in the Willbrooke Community was demolished and the site was re-purposed as a pocket park with a pedestrian trail.  The park now serves as the trail head for a new 8’ wide pedestrian facility that leads to the (future) public sidewalks in the new “South on Main” Community currently under construction along Hardy Street, between Hill and Main Streets.

This direct connection to downtown allows the 240 remaining homes within the established neighborhood, as well as additional homes in adjacent neighborhoods, to walk into town and experience dining, shopping, theater, green space, and a new library (coming soon), without ever having to get into their cars.

The park and trail include amenities such as pleasant landscaping, lighting for nighttime access, security cameras for 24-hour safety, benches for respite, and a doggie waste station for well…you know.  The City worked closely with the HOA and the neighbors adjacent to the park site to ensure privacy, security, and proper drainage.  The City also coordinated closely with the adjacent builder of the “South on Main” community to ensure smooth transition between properties.

On October 24th, 2019, the City of Duluth was recognized by the Partnership Gwinnett Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit as a Runner Up in the category of Neighborhood Redevelopment for the installation of the Willbrooke Connector.
