The company Scrimber CSC is working to bring Scrimber to market, noting that the product provides a more sustainable alternative to lumber, using underutilized wood fiber, increasing wood yields, and sequestering more carbon than traditional lumber products. The University of Minnesota Duluth’s (UMD) Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) and the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at UMD’s Labovitz School of Business and Economics partnered with Scrimber CSC to deliver a preliminary assessment of producing a Scrimber EWP in northern Minnesota.Item Border Barometer(Border Policy Research Institute, 2021) McKinley Research Group; Border Policy Research Institute, Western Washington University; Geoffrey Hale, University of Lethbridge; University of Minnesota Duluth.

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 Winter Trail-based Visitor Study(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Kreag, Glenn M; McTavish, Donald GMinnesota Sea Grant and the University of Minnesota Duluth Bureau of Business and Economic Research conducted the Cook County Winter Trail-based Visitor Study in the last quarter of 2002 (an atypical winter with little snow). Research assistants contacted a random sample of 162 households in Cook County, MN, by phone. A random adult in the home was asked a short set of questions about visitors who cross-country (x-c) ski and snowmobile in Cook County (65% cooperation). Additionally, 96 randomlychosen Cook County hospitality businesses were interviewed using the same questions (53% cooperation). The 51 business respondents and the residents, broken into two groups of 31 business owners or managers, and 74 non-business respondents, did not differ much in their perceptions of winter visitors. However, statistically significant differences in views are seen between respondents when grouped by their winter recreation participation (ski only, snowmobile only, both, and neither).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.
