Eveleth recently posted their plans for the future. The plan includes the following:
In the future, Eveleth will be a quaint, vibrant city of historical and cultural assets with quality businesses and recreational opportunities. Residents will enjoy a diverse housing stock, efficient transportation connections, and quality community facilities.
But as one sharp reader from the Minnesota Voices Online list points out, it seems to downplay the role of broadband:
Broadband Internet
Eveleth currently has broadband internet service in several areas throughout town, however some areas do not have access to broadband infrastructure. Broadband is a valuable asset that can encourage residential and commercial development.
Recommendation U5: Encourage the upgrade and expansion of broadband infrastructure in Eveleth.
What’s promising is that a group of citizens is getting together to talk about how they can improve upon the plan. You can learn more on the MVO list.
We appreciate the post bringing attention to Eveleth’s long range plan and the extreme value of a strong technology component. We are hoping to spur enough interest in other Communities (across the ‘Range) so when their time comes for such planning, they’ll be prepped and ready for greater success.
We have a meeting at Bonsai Tea of Eveleth (411 Grant Ave, 744-2000) Tuesday (tomorrow) at 3:30.
We want to raise awareness of this project and spur more ideas for presentation at the Public meeting on Thursday at 6:00 (Eveleth City Hall). All are welcome, treats will be served!
