Many rural communities have suffered the negative impacts of population decline for decades. But in some places, recent influxes of new residents—sometimes migration from outside of the US with different languages, cultures, and traditions from longtime residents, sometimes migrations from other regions within the country whose culture and traditions may also be different—have brought new opportunities for growth, as well as challenges related to belonging. Who is welcome in these rural places, or more importantly, who is welcome to belong? Who does the community belong to? How can these communities move forward together toward equitable rural prosperity? We dive into these questions in our latest case study: https://lnkd.in/ehVB5hdH

All types of change can be challenging for communities (from industry loss and population decline to growth from retirees, second home owners, in-migration, or new industries). Latent conflicts and power imbalances in communities may also become more pronounced in times of change. Existing structural racism, as well as geographic and economic inequity, may be revealed or emphasized, providing an opportunity to address these issues and find new ways to move forward as a community. For more on how thriving communities are built on connection and shared purpose, see our case study on welcoming and belonging. https://lnkd.in/ehVB5hdH

Acknowledging that broadband is an essential utility should allow governments and communities to shift their thinking to find ways to provide affordable, sustainable connectivity to people and businesses. For example, a century ago, communities formed rural electric cooperatives to electrify remote communities that private corporations were unlikely to serve. This could be a model for broadband connectivity in remote areas today.
