The Future Of The Carter Hotel

 The Carter Hotel was purchased by the Fond Du Luc Band in 2010,and the tribe then tried to tie the property in with their casino next door. The city of Duluth sued the tribe saying the city’s permission was needed to increase  sovereign land holdings in the downtown area. That lawsuit was dismissed in December 2014.

 The City Of Duluth now has until Friday to appeal the decision to place the hotel property in trust for the band.  We reached out to the band today for comment and did not receive a response. Duluth’s Mayor Larsen did give us a statement saying the city is in communications with the band ahead of Friday’s appeal deadline. Larsen doesn’t want to comment further at this time.
