On March 25th the U.S. Dept. of Commerce announced the awarding of a $4.7 million grant to the Grand Rapids-based Blandin Foundation, to conduct a statewide broadband development project across rural Minnesota. Through this grant, the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities (MIRC) coalition will bring a network of resources and support to rural Minnesota individuals and communities—especially those unemployed and seeking employment, small businesses, coalitions of government entities, and local leaders.
The EDA Center at the University of Minnesota, Crookston will serve as the lead evaluator for this large and broad-based project. Go to: http://broadband.blandinfoundation.org/news/news-detail.php?intResourceID=1208 to learn more.
