Near campus housing
The near campus housing project is slowly but surely moving forward despite the recent spike in lumber and building material costs. The modified building is set to break ground later this summer, with the main goal of keeping rents affordable for students. See full stories on KBJR 6 and in the Duluth News Tribune. |
