Windom is one of the MIRC (Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities) Demonstration Communities, which means they received ARRA-funding through the project that the Blandin Foundation Administrates to improve broadband adoption.
I’ve written about at least one of their projects – but sometimes it’s fun to get a first person glimpse at a community and the local broadband plan. MIRC Community Coach Karl Samp gave me the heads up on a blogger in Windom who is tracking what’s happening in Windom – including what’s happening with their broadband plans.
She seems to be pretty involved. I thought some readers might be able to borrow from the ideas she shares and that others might simply enjoy hearing what it’s like on the frontlines.
Ann,
I am not sure of you intent, but were you planning to give a link to the blog?

Mark – thanks for asking. Here it is: http://mari2cents.blogspot.com/
You could also click on “blogger in Windom” above – but this makes it so much easier for other readers – so thanks again for asking.
Ann
I just learned that the blogger is working on the MIRC project as the local coordinator for Extension. Sounds like she’s a great asset to the community. It always takes a few energetic, local champions!
