CROOKSTON FORUM Shirley Iverson and Jess Bengtson members of the Downtown Crookston Development Partnership (DCDP) spoke- We have two representatives from the Council, Council Member Clayton Briggs and Council Member Donald Cavalier. From our last meeting we thought it would be a great time to give you a synopsis of 2020, our accomplishments, and some of our goals for 2021. Our sole goal for the DCDP is to revitalize our downtown. We look for economic development, renewal and revitalization, activities and excitement having people downtown, and people remembering our historic downtown. Our core goals are to continue to build strong public- private partnerships and enhance the downtown sense of place. We were reconvening in the early part of the year. After the pandemic hit, we offered food truck events during the spring, summer and fall. We roughly had over 6,000 people downtown during those food truck events. We also partnered with local restaurants to participate in pop up stands and Drafts and Crookston Inn participated with that event. The DCDP purchased a generator to help accommodate the food trucks. We produced, distributed, and collected a downtown business survey on various topics with the help of Donald Cavalier. We hosted the food truck fest during the third week of August with multiple new food vendors. We helped with the annual Chalk It Up art event, social distance style. We hosted Heroes Rise coffee truck and provided free coffee to the public and First Responders. Heroes Rise is now open on University Avenue. We hosted a Historic Halloween Candy hunt for the community and partnered with down town businesses and landmarks, plus Crookston High School’s Kiwanis Builders Club. During Small Business Saturday the DCDP partnered with local artisans, vendors and home businesses for shopping events. We researched the bridge lighting and held discussion with vendors and local electricians to light up Robert Street Bridge. We are awaiting permit approval from MNDOT and the City and we are hoping Amy will have an answer for us soon. Just this last month we installed two benches at 2nd Street and Broadway. For our 2021 projects and goals we want to continue to hold community events to have many reasons to have people come downtown. The popup shops vendors were able to set up in downtown locations all over town. It was really a win/win for small businesses and businesses downtown to have extra reasons for people to come in. We want to continue to model events like that. Additional bridge lighting and add more benches in various downtown spots. We would like to develop pocket parks and market the downtown to visitors in the region. We would also like to work with the City on downtown beautification and add visual art via murals, updating signs and lighting. PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
