In early April, KROX sat down with Community Development Director Karie Kirschbaum, Professor of Marketing at the University of Minnesota Crookston, Al Fattel Anas, and Associate Professor Eric Castle, to chat about a project they collaborated on to highlight the trail system in Crookston.
On Wednesday, April 30, the Professors and their respective classes presented to the public on their completed semester-long project at Valley Technology Park. The project, “Crookston On The Move: Connecting the Community Through Trails,” covered topics such as increasing trail usage, recommendations for future expansion, and identifying where trails are and their current conditions.
The students used a survey to gather information from the community on what they would like to see happen with our trails, how they can be improved, what residents like about the trails, and more. The students were very thankful for the community involvement, as it greatly benefited their project.
The project presentation was very professional, and the students took the work they did very seriously, as many of them use the trails in Crookston daily. City of Crookston Marketing Coordinator Keenan Devier thanked the students for their hard work and dedication and said that he would bring what they did to the city staff and council to use as a resource for future planning.
