Since 2004 nearly 200 applicants have been striving to win the W. K. Kellogg Foundation’s (www.wkkf.org) rural entrepreneurship grants. This week those awards of up to $2 million each were made to regional efforts in NE; NM; NC; OR; SD/WY; and WV. All of the winners were regional efforts, taking in from five counties to an entire state and in one case (SD/WY) reaching across state lines with an initiative.
Regionalism is a continuing trend that I’m witnessing more frequently as I travel around the country. No longer are interested citizens letting artificial boundaries, set by surveyors in the 19th Century, limit their ability to connect and transform their populations.
