WTIP’s i2i project uses video to document our community and way of life. i2i is administered by Patrick Knight and is made possible through the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities initiative, a Blandin Foundation-administered project funded in large part through an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant. The work of the coalition focuses on bringing the full promise of broadband technologies to rural Minnesota communities, businesses and people.
