Stevens County is one of 11 communities throughout rural Minnesota to receive up to $100,000 each to develop and demonstrate broadband projects through the Blandin Foundation and its federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) grant.
BTOP is one of the stimulus grant programs of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and is administered through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Through this grant, the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities 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.
