Final Launch! - January 2009
A community Experience

Welcome to Northern Community Internet! (beta) We're a network of northern Minnesota communities using the internet to connect to our neighbors and with one another.

Who is the "community"? We are, of course! Let's share our news, ideas, perspectives, resources, interests and influences with each other. We can add links to our business or organizations, a service we provide, our personal websites or just local information about our community. Take a look at what's happening in our area, or check out other communities for items of interest. From arts to education, politics to sports, business to our neighborhood's multi-family garage sale, this is a place where we can help identify and meet the needs of our community.

Community works best when it is experienced, and building strong, direct relationships with each other makes small town communities special. NorthernCommunityInternet.org is where we can create a vibrant place for us to connect, share, get to know each other better and help define our culture.
