| Lincoln Lark Business Group Meeting (Thursday, Sep 12th - Mike ) |  (Local Business leaders listen to Mayor Reinert’s presentation ) Duluth MakerSpace hosted the Lincoln Park Business Group this morning for their monthly meeting. For this meeting the group was honored to have a presentation by Mayor Roger Reinert.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the space look good and give us a chance to show off a little bit. Several of these people had not been inside DMS in years, and commented on how good the shops were looking.
