On this fifth-annual Global Lifting Awareness Day, we salute the skilled cargo handlers throughout our port who keep things moving safely and efficiently every day. They help power the world’s supply chain and we are grateful for their dedication and diligence. #GLAD2024

A port is only as good as its inland connections. Our Clure Terminal is served by four Class I railways, and this week, we’re upgrading 112 feet of that railway with a new concrete crossing. Stronger, safer and more resilient, this new crossing will help keep cargo flowing efficiently from our docks to destinations throughout North America. As always, it’s a team effort, collaborating with experts from SEH, North Shore Track Services, Inc., and MJ Companies LLC.🛤

On this date 50 years ago, paving crews took a brief #IndependenceDay break from their work at Airpark, Duluth’s soon-to-open industrial park complex. Located not on the waterfront, but rather, near the Duluth International Airport, Airpark was and is developed by the Port Authority. Pavers returned to the site after a long holiday weekend to apply finishing touches for the opening of a Gardner Denver sales and service center. Following Gardner Denver, Wisconsin-based Medi Associates became the second firm to announce Airpark building plans, gaining approval for purchase of a 2-acre site during our July 11, 1974, board meeting. #ThrowbackThursday Still thriving today, Airpark provides a convenient location for many companies.
