Item 2001 Labor Force Assessment Northeast Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2001) Lichty, Richard W; Porett, Matthew; Moore, Scott; O'Brien, Maureen; McTavish, Donald G; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Smith, Eric; Simonson, JeremyItem Alternatives to Petroleum Based Fuel for Marine Vessels(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Malik, Nitya; Slegh, David; Martopullo, Ela; Linde, Nicholas; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Cook County Dairy Market Survey and Business Plan(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2007) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Lovisolo, Joseph; Jafri, Syed; Linde, Nicholas; Malik, Nitya; Martopullo, Ela; Slegh, David; Cebula, Barbara; Almquist-Minko, VickieThe University of Minnesota Duluth Labovitz School’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) was requested to assist Cook County to evaluate the idea of developing a small sustainable dairy. Two surveys were designed and implemented in Cook County: A survey of demand—Cook County Dairy Market Survey (Customers) featuring a cash-drawing incentive for participation, and a survey of potential distributors—Cook County Dairy Market Survey (Businesses). Data were collected during the fall of 2006 with analysis completed in early 2007. ... In summary there appears to be a viable business opportunity in Cook County for a dairy of this description, but major startup hurdles must be overcome. Once large enough sales and distribution are established, the cooperative can be a valuable contributor to the Cook County economy.Item Cook County Winter Trail Use Study: Technical Report(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Kreag, Glenn M; Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; McTavish, Donald G; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, AmberThe following technical report on the Cook County resident survey was developed as a part of the larger research project “Tourism and Winter Trail-based Recreation: An economic and environmental comparison of motor and quiet sports.” The project was designed to document and compare the impacts of snowmobiling and cross country skiing in a destination county. It will measure the economic impacts and assess the perceived social and environmental impacts of these activities. This study employed questionnaires with snowmobilers and cross country skiers and survey local residents in Cook County, Minnesota. An understanding of the differences between motor sports (snowmobiling) and a quiet sport (cross country skiing) is useful in planning future development, minimizing negative impacts, and improving marketing decisions.Item Cook County/Grand Portage Alternative Energy(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005) Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Doorn, David J; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Malik, Nitya; Williams, Joshua; Hochsprung, Paul; Daly, JohnEnergy sustainability must consider social, ecological and economic factors. This contract is to model the economic impacts to the current economy of the Grand Portage MN Tribal Community when the energy supply changes in response to implementing hydrogen based technology. This project will analyze possible impacts generated when the source of energy changes. Most input-output impact analyses assume that, when one industry in a defined region increases its production, the necessary supply of intermediate products needed in production will be available. This assumption implies that local resources are currently underutilized, or that excess capacity exists in the supplying industries.Item Duluth Area Economic Development Enterprise Network System Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Malik, Nitya; Williams, Joshua; Carpenter, Talia; Huehn, Jon; Fuchs, Brian; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Zolnowsky, Wendy MItem Duluth Farmers' Market Survey and Business Plan(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Malik, Nitya; Martopullo, Ela; Daly, John; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Duluth Opinion Survey and Report(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1997) Knudsen, Kjell R; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Zelenak, Jennifer; Naimpally, Amrita; Lee, Courtney; Nippert, AndrewItem Duluth Seaway Port Authority: Impact of Business Development & Shipping Industry in 2005(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Linde, NicholasItem East Central Minnesota: Social and Economic Trends and Implications, Forestry Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2004) Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Fleischman, William A; Jacobson, Jean; Barkataki, Malita; Williams, JoshuaItem The Economic Empact of U.S. Steel's Keetac Mine Expansion on the State of Minnesota And on the Arrowhead Region(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Solem, Lyle; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of a Mixed-Use Development Project In Bloomington, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of a Mixed-Use Development Project In Bloomington, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieA new project of mixed-use development of condos, hotel, restaurants, coffee shop, and retail is proposed for Bloomington, Minnesota. The impacts for the following area or regions were modeled: the State of Minnesota; a 13-county Twin Cities metro area (Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, Washington, Wright, Carver, Chisago, Goodhue, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, and Isanti Counties); a 3-county sub-set of Hennepin, Ramsey and Dakota Counties; and targeted zip codes including 13 zip codes in Hennepin County. Landmark Research, Inc. provided the UMD Labovitz School's research bureau (BBER) estimated employment and sales for construction and operations phases of the project. The mixed-use development project proposed includes new activity in the following IMPLAN sectors: 481 Restaurant; 479 Hotel; 481 Hotel Restaurant; 445 Retail food; 448 Retail Clothing; 453 Retail Misc.; 487 Health and Personal Care; and 418 Movie Theatres.Item Economic Impact of a Mixed-Use Development Project In St. Paul, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Adding Wind Energy In Communities on Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior, 2007(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Jafri, Syed; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieThese summary tables present the total economic impact from wind-generated energy as ten percent and twenty percent of total energy supply in the combined three-county region, as well as Cook, Lake and St. Louis Counties. Impacts are projected for 2010, 2015, and 2020, using population and energy consumption to estimate inputs for these projections. Sources for all tables are IMPLAN and the UMD Labovitz School’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. The calculations in these models use 2008 dollars for reports, without adjustments for inflation. Readers should also be mindful of the diminishing reliability of modeling an economy as projections proceed into the future; therefore the values projected for 2010 will warrant most scrutiny.Item The Economic Impact of APEX Members on the Arrowhead Region, MN and Douglas County, WI 2006(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2007) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Faridi, Salman; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Constructing and Operating An Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle Power-Generation Facility on Itasca County(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Doorn, David J; Malik, Nitya; Martopullo, Ela; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Constructing and Operating An Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle Power-Generation Facility on the Iron Range(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Doorn, David J; Daly, John; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Constructing and Operating an Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle Power-Generation Facility on the Iron Range Update 2006(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Jacobson, Jean; Doorn, David J; Slegh, David; Linde, Nicholas; Malik, Nitya; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Constructing and Operating Minnesota Steel Industries LLC in Itasca County, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Doorn, David J; Malik, Nitya; Martopullo, Ela; Almquist-Minko, Vickie
