Policymakers in Wilkin seem to recognize the need for broadband. They have benefited from a MN Border to Border grant in the past. Unusually, their broadband coverage has actually slipped over the year, which may speak to the need for better mapping more than an actual change in coverage. To get better broadband, the community would need to organize and engage.
