Some solutions: Invest in rural Federal-State partnerships like @ARCgov @DeltaRegional @NBRC_Team that rely on local economic development efforts. Support widespread and regional high speed broadband efforts. Encourage multi-use density in community centers. Support regionalism.

A little piece of #Aroostook County heritage dies to new production and tech. But the memory of 3 week #potatoes picking remains with many of us! #backbreaking
