Rural Economic Development: Building a Sustainable Community - White Paper


This paper, a special supplement to the Rural Telcom Educational Series, was produced by the Foundation for Rural Service. The paper was developed by NREDA at the request of FRS to highlight the need for rural telecoms involvement in economic development. NREDA members Dana Baker and Dorrene Benthin, of GVNW in Portland, Ore., provided the majority of the material. NREDA President Pat B. Merritt, CEcD, of Georgia EMC in Atlanta, Ga.,provided collaboration case examples and editing assistance.

Join Us in Minnesota for our Sustainability Conference!

Spring has come to Minnesota. The snow is finally gone, the leaves are budding out, the birds are at the feeders, my boat is in the water, and life is good. Despite the recession, businesses and communities across Rural America are quietly doing incredible things. You're in for a real treat when you come to Minnesota for NREDA's Professional Development Conference, with a strong focus on sustainability. Niki Knox and Tom Lambrecht have assembled a blue-ribbon program of nationally known speakers to talk about sustainability in building design and development, Smart Grid electric technology, and you can tour first-hand Minnesota's first LEED Platinum commercial office building - a shining example that incorporates energy efficiency, renewable energy and innovative resource planning into a real showcase. Trust me, the snow is gone, and it's OK to head North, and you know I'll be there. Hope to see you June 24-25 at Great River Energy's offices in Maple Grove, MN. You can register online below.
