Item Bulletin No. 21. The Geology and Magnetite Deposits of Northern St. Louis County, Minnesota(Minnesota Geological Survey, 1926) Grout, Frank F.This bulletin treats the geology and mineral deposits of a large area in northern St. Louis County, extending northward to the Canadian boundary. It lies north of the Mesabi iron range and includes most of the Vermilion iron range. It lies south of the Rainy Lake area of Canada. Because it adjoins the world's greatest iron-producing area it has been the subject of much interest to explorers and prospectors seeking new deposits of iron ore and parts of the area have been surveyed by the United States Geological Survey and the earlier Minnesota state surveys. Much of the area, however, had not been surveyed in detail. The report includes a general map of the area (Plate I) several detailed maps of small areas of economic interest and 88 township plats. These township plats are essentially outcrop maps and cover the entire area. approximately 2800 square miles.Item Economic Impact of the Hermantown Amateur Hockey Association on Duluth, Hermantown, and Proctor, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2020) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Brand, Nathan; Hockert, Matthew; Badger, MeganThe Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Labovitz School of Business and Economics was contacted by HAHA to estimate the economic impacts of Hermantown hockey on the study area. For the purpose of this report, Hermantown hockey includes all of HAHA’s youth games and tournaments, the Hermantown High School hockey program (uses the Hermantown arena), and the operations of the Hermantown Arena. HAHA also requested research on the potential economic impacts of adding a second sheet of ice to the arena that would add capacity for additional games and tournaments throughout the season. The BBER first focused on Hermantown hockey’s current impacts on the economy and then estimated the possible impacts of expanding the existing arena.Item Economic Impacts of the Content Industry in Northern Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2023) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Perry, D'Lanie; Hopkins, Erin; Nadeau, KennyFor more than 30 years, the Upper Midwest Film Office (UMFO) has been helping attract and integrate film and content production in Northeast Minnesota. Currently, UMFO is working on several issues including increasing the incentives provided to the film and content industry, developing the region’s industry-specific workforce, and building the capacity for regional soundstage construction. For purposes of wanting to educate policy makers and the broader public on the importance of the burgeoning film industry, UMFO contacted the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Labovitz School of Business and Economics to study the industry’s economic impact in St. Louis County. The BBER estimated the economic impacts of the film industry for 2022 as well as three future scenarios that might occur if the rebate limit was increased and St. Louis County saw significant growth in its film industry. In 2022, the film industry spent just over $3.0 million in the county. Our small-growth scenario assumed an increase in the rebate limit to roughly $3.25 million, which could allow for $13.0 million in spending on the part of the industry in the county. A medium-growth scenario assumed a $6.25 million rebate limit and $25.0 million in industry spending, while a large-growth scenario assumed a limit of $12.5 million and $50.0 million in local spending on the part of the film industry. In addition to the four growth scenarios, a fifth scenario—soundstage construction—assumed a one-time, temporary impact from the construction of a soundstage, something that UMFO has indicated would be necessary to support growth in the industry.Item From Deinstitutionalization to Today: The History of the Modern Mental Health Crisis(2016) Moret, Katie; Stuart, LeeTreatment for those with mental health conditions has been influenced by many factors and changes in the field. One such change which shifted mental health treatment drastically was the deinstitutionalization movement in the United States during the 1950s. This movement advocated for the closing of state mental hospitals in favor of community-based resources to help those with mental illnesses. While hospitals were seen as restricting, community resources were seen as more conducive to recovery. This was a well-intentioned but failed initiative which led to negative outcomes for the area of mental health treatment throughout the country. This paper outlines the history of deinstitutionalization in the U.S. and its repercussions, and examines how this movement has led to the mental health crisis seen across the country. The state of mental health in St. Louis County, Minnesota is the focus, and the various services available and future improvements to be made are described.Item OFR16-4, Preliminary geologic maps of Lake and St. Louis Counties, northeastern Minnesota(Minnesota Geological Survey, 2016--2018) Jirsa, Mark A, Project ManagerThis Open-File Report (OFR) is a repository for on-going mapping in Lake and St. Louis counties that began in 2015 and will be largely completed by 2020. It contains preliminary bedrock and surficial geologic maps and associated products covering parts, and eventually all of the two counties. Because the counties are large, they have been divided for mapping purposes into subareas, each containing the name Arrowhead. Surficial, Bedrock Topography, and Depth to Bedrock maps are divided into 4 subareas referred to here as the Central (content prefixed “CA,” 2016, 2017); Southeastern (SeA, 2017, 2018); Southwestern (SwA, 2018), and Northern Arrowhead (NA) areas. Bedrock maps and associated files cover 3 subareas referred to as Central (CA, 2016); Southern (SA, 2017); and Northern Arrowhead (NA, 2018). Note that the boundaries of subareas differ somewhat between the surficial and bedrock maps. Products within this Open File Report include bedrock geologic maps, surficial geologic maps, bedrock topography and depth to bedrock maps, Quaternary stratigraphy, sand distribution models, corresponding GIS files, and other digital content. Ancillary files such as technical reports, geophysical imagery and models, and geochronologic data are included for bedrock mapping in the 3 bedrock subareas. Once these preliminary products are complete, the data and interpretations will be recombined into County Geologic Atlases that will supersede this OFR. Authors of individual maps and reports within the OFR include: Boerboom, T.J., Chandler, V.W., Dengler, E.L., Hamilton, J.D., Horton, J.M., Jirsa, M.A., Lively, R.S., Meyer, G.N., Peterson, D.M., Radakovich, A.L., Schmitz, M.D., Setterholm, D.R., Wagner, K.G., and Wall, C.Item St. Louis County Benefits Cliff Visualization(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2021) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Ye, Daniel; Palmquist, Ben
