Harbor View Hillside Revitalization
Rebuilding the Neighborhood from the Inside Out
The Harbor View Hillside revitalization is led by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth and its lead developer, The Communities Group, in association with the Duluth LISC. The physical revitalization includes the existing Harbor View Homes, the surrounding Hillside neighborhood, and selected higher income neighborhoods.
When completed, 200 units of barracks-style public housing will be demolished and replaced with a new, mixed-income neighborhood. Residents will operate a neighborhood convenience store located at a new village center. The Copeland Community Center will expand to include child care, early learning, after school programs, and a technology training center. There will be new parks, an outdoor softball field and skating rink, and an indoor sports facility.
Six acres will be added to the original site. Land acquisition will stimulate the construction of a new mixed-use commercial and residential shopping complex, bringing a new grocery store to anchor business recovery and provide improved shopping to neighborhood residents
