Abstract
During spring 2023, University of Minnesota Extension conducted a Crookston downtown business survey at the
request of the City of Crookston and the Downtown Crookston Development Partnership. Of the 80 surveys
distributed, Extension received 19 responses. Surveys were sent to Crookston businesses located along the corridors
of North Broadway and South Main Streets in Ward 4. As the majority of these businesses have operated for 20 or
more years, findings reflect the experience of established businesses rather than new ones. Supplemental business
demographics (Appendix A) and consumer market information regarding the lifestyle profiles of Crookston residents
(Appendix B) are included at the end of this report.
Description
The Crookston Downtown Development Partnership (DCDP) and City of Crookston requested this survey project to
better understand the current preferences of downtown Crookston business and building owners. Survey responses
will help enhance the downtown area for both customers and employees. In addition to primary survey data from
downtown Crookston businesses, University of Minnesota Extension also provided data regarding resident
demographics as a secondary source of information for downtown business owners to strategically plan for future
growth.
Survey results provide an estimate of potential demand by downtown Crookston businesses for specialized business
services offered by the City and DCDP. Findings also reveal the opportunity for potentially new placemaking
activities not currently taking place in the community. Additionally, compiling business preference data helps shape
project recommendations for the DCDP and is useful for community groups as they prepare and plan for the
downtown area’s extensive redevelopment with MNDOT. The redevelopment will occur along the city’s two main
downtown corridors in 2027-2028.
