60-acre land purchase from Herkenhoff coming into focus Mike Christopherson Crookston Times It looks like CHEDA, the City of Crookston and potentially other partners are going to join in covering the estimated $375,000 cost to purchase 60 acres of land in Crookston’s northeast corner from developer Bob Herkenhoff. Herkenhoff, as part of various continued collaborations and deals made with the City of Crookston and CHEDA, is the person behind the popular Nature’s View Estates and its market-rate home lots, man-made ponds and mix of mid-sized and larger homes. As the next phase of the development continues to head east, and with Herkenhoff looking to at least somewhat hand the reins to someone else, the last remaining, big piece is his 60 acres of land that extends to City limits.
