Dear fellow Vision 2020ers,

=20

First Step would like to make the following announcement about new =
services
coming to Bovill, Deary and Potlatch.

=20

You may have heard about the grant that we received from the Rural =
Utilities
Service of the USDA to bring broadband wireless services to Bovill.  It =
now
looks like the RUS will be funding the projects for both Deary and =
Potlatch
as well.

=20

Many of you have been involved in the regional effort to bridge the =
digital
divide throughout Latah and Whitman Counties.  We are pleased that the =
Rural
Utilities Service considers this an important goal and will be investing =
the
following funds towards that end.
