At Duluth’s most recent city council meeting, City Manager James Riker reported that the city’s staff is working toward the reopening of municipal court, city hall, and public works dumpsters on or around May 14.

The city’s parks and recreation programming remains cancelled through May. The city will coordinate with Gwinnett for opening dates of playgrounds, tennis courts, etc. which also affects public restrooms. The city will follow any closing restrictions set or extended by Governor Brian Kemp.

Riker noted that to be successful, the city must not only be able to source cleaning supplies to reopen, but also be able to sustain the supply for extended cleaning protocols for as long as necessary.
