Members of the community would agree: the historic downtown is one of the most important parts of Crookston. There are a few independently owned spots to sit and eat. A famous candy store and a celebrated theater. With many downtown buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, these boutiques and other businesses connect the present with the past.

Now imagine:

Places to sit back and read. Live music. Shaded areas to sit outside and gather. High times and slow traffic. More experience-based amenities.

Through Empower Crookston, we can make it possible.

You can read at the library, learn at the county museum, and catch a movie at the Grand Theatre. You can golf, fish, and swim. You can skate at the brand-new Crookston Sports Center with three arenas. You can visit 20+ parks and hike an impressive number of trails.

Now imagine:

We capitalize on the current picturesque vistas we already have. We protect our environment and the habitats we share. We add more things for people of all ages to do with the resources we already have. We make these amenities known to Crookston and the surrounding area.

Through Empower Crookston, we can make it possible.
