Merit Network will be holding a community meeting to provide an introduction to the Crawford County communities on Merit’s Broadband Stimulus Project, REACH-3MC.

On November 19, 2010, representatives from Merit Network will introduce the plans for this project and answer questions on how the community can take advantage of this high-speed network.
This meeting will be held at 1 p.m. EST on November 19 at:
