A lawsuit has been dropped over the potential environmental impact of the Duluth school district's long-range facilities plan.
Harry Welty, a party involved with the case and a member of Let Duluth Vote, said no one showed up for a hearing on the lawsuit. Welty said that probably led the judge to dismiss it.
The case was filed against the city last May after the Duluth Planning Commission decided not to require the district to complete an Environmental Assessment Worksheet on the $293 million long-range facilities plan.
Let Duluth Vote is still tied up in a separate lawsuit with the district that takes issue with the contract between the district and consulting firm Johnson Controls.
